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

I so sorry to hear this. It's obviously going to be incredibly overwhelming at the moment. I hope the hospital have given you information about what support will be available for you. 🌸🌺🌼

I'm really sorry to hear this, OP. Did they say anything about their treatment plans?

I’m so sorry OP, this is awful news. I do hope that they can give you a definite plan soon. Will you start chemo? I hope you’ve got some friends and family to wrap around you right now. We may be a group of strangers but we are all rooting for you.

i am so sorry to read this Flowers

You must be numb and utterly devastated OP, I'm so sorry to read this.

I've no doubt the hospital will try to assist with support if you don't have a strong network in place.

Do whatever you need to get through the next few days as you deal with this news. You don't need to be strong right now.

Do you have anyone you can speak to in real life?

scorpiogirly · 23/02/2024 19:02

Just saw this thread. I am sorry it wasn't the news you were hoping for. Did they offer any advice as to what they intend to do?

menohnopausal · 23/02/2024 19:05

Really sorry you've had bad news, and I hope they come up with a plan for you quickly. Beaming you heartfelt good wishes from Scotland xx

I'm so sorry. I have fought cancer (and come out the other side). I know it's terrifying. Deep breaths. We can't control everything. Please share details if you would like to.

Banrion · 23/02/2024 20:20

I'm so sorry. I do think these things always sound worse initially then when you're brought in for the plan it sounds more hopeful. I hope this is the case

SipSipHooray · 23/02/2024 20:26
