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

All the best for tomorrow. I can really understand the worry as I recently went through similar (with a good outcome thank goodness) but the wait is terrible. 💐💐

Really hope tomorrow goes well for you. Awful to leave you worrying so long. Sending hugs and strength.

Hand hold for tomorrow.

I’ll be thinking of you. Really hope all is well and that by lunch time tomorrow you’ll be feeling so much better about it all.

Thinking of you for tomorrow and keeping everything crossed 🌺

Good luck.
My circs are similar to yours in terms of domestic set up so I really get your fear.

Hi, OP -

I just read your post and I wanted to wish you the best for tomorrow. I agree that with the NHS on its knees anything could happen, but I too would hope that you’d have been recalled sooner if there were a problem.

Worst case, they have caught it early. There is a lot of cancer in my family. DH has been through the wringer and hopefully come through, and DF’s side of the family has too many examples of this awful disease.

But on a positive note, DF himself had his sarcoma return after nearly 15 years, so his checks had stopped and it wasn’t caught early. He is over 80 and has been living with Stage 4 sarcoma for nearly 10 years. It barely affects his life; he gets radiation to his lungs every few months and has some fatigue around that but so far, so good. He still plays golf and a mild version of tennis. His oncologist doesn’t seem very worried.

Even if your cancer is back there is no reason to worry that it has advanced. But it is no longer true that Stage 4 cancer is always terminal, though sadly that is too often the case.

I'm thinking of you too OP - sending strength for tomorrow and a positive outcome 🙏🏼

Good luck for tomorrow OP

Thank you everyone

Good luck for today

Good luck.
Everything crossed for you 🍀

Sending hugs. Well done for getting through this wait. Thinking of you and fingers crossed xx

Fingers crossed for today 🤞

I just wanted to wish you all the best. I had a suspicious mole removed privately. I was told it would take 2 weeks for results. A week later they rang but I missed them. When I called back I couldn't get hold of the Dr. He had gone away on a long weekend. I was convinced it was bad news so I understand the terror. Just look at it as regardless of outcome you are all the better for having the scan than something being unchecked.

Sending a hug x
Totally get your fear and I admit I would be the same.

Only just seen your thread but wanted to wish you good luck for today. Well done for getting through the last week's wait. Will be keeping everything crossed for a positive outcome for you

Good luck today. 💐
If you don't have someone going with you, all of you can record the conversation because when you are in a heightened emotional state it is really common to barely remember a conversation. You could have the appointment and then go home and struggle to recall a thing that was said.
They usually show a partner to take notes etc.
All the best. Nearly over with now.

Best of luck OP. I am on the cancer train and the conveyance of results seems to have little relation to whether they are good or bad so I hope it is nothing! There is a cancer support thread in general health if you want some support, it’s a lovely kind place!

Hope all goes well today.

Really hope your worries are unfounded. When you’re a single parent the thought of being seriously ill is truly terrifying. Many of us have experienced this and it is a fear like no other.
All over the country there are people thinking of you this morning, sending positive thoughts and wishing you all the best.

I've only just seen your thread. The wait must have been really difficult for you.

Wishing you good luck for today @Lostmymind11 💐

Thinking of you OP 💐

Hope it all goes ok. Sending very positive thoughts.

All the best for today.
