Terrified i'm dying!!!!

[Lostmymind11]

Sorry if this is on the wrong thread but i'm not sure where to put it

Nearly 2yrs ago i had surgery to remove a sarcoma (no treatment afterwards as not needed). My 6 month scan was clear and i had another scan 4wks ago to check if it had come back. The hospital have rang today and told me they had booked me in next Friday to see a member of the surgery team. I am abaolutely terrified and beside myself with worry. I am a single parent to a very young child who has no contact with dad due to domestic abuse. I barely have any family/friend support. If the cancer is back i really don't know what i will do. I feel physically ill

@Lostmymind11

I’ve been thinking of you all week; hope you’re as ok as you can be. Wishing you well x

Thinking and 🙏 for you.
Sending you the biggest hug.xxxx@Lostmymind11 .

Hi everyone just a quick update. So the hospital rang me this evening to book me in with the surgeon who the Dr i saw who told me the cancer was back would do the surgery as he is the specialist. The appointment isn't for another 3wks as apparently both Dr's want to see me in clinic together. I am putting a complaint in tomorrow as i am not happy i'm having to wait another 3wks for more information

I don't blame you for pushing back on this. Three weeks seems like too long a delay.

I have no advice for you, except to keep pushing for quick treatment.

What I do wish to do, is to let you know that I am thinking of you and letting you know you have people in your corner. {{HUGS}}

Three weeks to wait again seems cruel and not good enough. I hope they can sort something out, sure you don’t need the added stress of having to complain 😐

Oh I hope your complaint makes a difference and that they see you sooner. Thanks for letting us know. We're all thinking of you

No advice just keep strong xxx what a stressful and worrying time, I'm so sorry x

I've just seen your thread, but I appreciate you've been posting for a while. Just sending, as others have done, a big hug. Two of my closest friends are going through cancer treatment and I know they've had major ups and downs. Fingers crossed you'll see your surgeons sooner and that you'll have a plan in place. Thinking of you x

Three weeks does seem like a long time to wait. Well done for seeing if they can meet with you sooner. I’ll keep my fingers crossed that they can see you sooner. Thinking of you 🌺🌺

Sending a handhold. I'm so sorry you're going through this and I hope all will be well again soon xxx

Thinking of you OP. A 3 week wait for more info is very cruel, really, when you are so, so worried.

What a horrible, insensitive remark
I've reported this

I really hope you can get seen sooner than 3 weeks. Xx

I have reported your despicable comment. Disgusting.

What a truly awful thing to say. You obviously don't have a shred of humanity or kindness to say something like this to someone going through such a terrifying time.

I'm so sorry you're going through this. I have young children and incurable breast cancer so I know well the absolute terror you're feeling. For me finding others in the same position has been invaluable.
If you're on Facebook, look up Shine Cancer Support, they have a Shine Lifers private group.

3 weeks does seem too long, the wait will be torturous. I hope you can be seen more quickly.

The waiting is dreadful, I agree. Hang in there OP, things are still moving forward for you. Hugs from me. xx

Waiting is horrible - Fully understand the complaint. Trying to be positive they probably wouldnt wait 3 weeks if the news was going to be really bad. Hopefully they have something they can do.

They may need that time to discuss with other specialists, to properly plan what they will need to do. Particularly if it's going to be very complex/ difficult surgery.

@Toddlerteaplease thats a good point.

I hope OP didn't see the nasty comment. Why can't people be nice? I think the nhs drag their heels to much sometimes. Normally they are waiting for MDAs which font seem.ti be very frequent

Take heart, OP, it is likely they need time to confer. My DS was diagnosed with a brain tumour the nature and position of which meant three specialists were involved in her treatment. Her case was ‘very urgent’ due to impact on her sight but it still
took a couple of months, many more tests/scans before her operation could be scheduled. Waiting was very stressful, but thankfully all is well.
