How do I cope with the wait for test results?

Basically that. On the 2 week cancer pathway. I have seen a consultant and had a contrast CT Saturday morning. My next appointment is a week away.
I’ve been checking my NHS app ten times a day to see if it’s updated. I’m so stressed out and it’s all I can focus on.

The waiting is brutal. I can't offer any advice other than to keep busy and try to leave your phone where it's not easily accessible. I cleared out lots of cupboards. Best wishes.

I had to wait a week for test results and it was awful. I did my best to just keep going and put one foot in front of the other. I tried to distract myself and not think about it very much. It was hard. I hope you’re test results come back soon and with good news.

I will soon be in this position, surgery next week then waiting for histology. But would those sort of results appear on the NHS app?

Thanks all

Ive read that sometimes they do come onto your app.

Every day feels like a week at the moment.
