WAITING WAITING AND MORE WAITING

1 minute read time.

Well pop had is scan a week ago now and is still very anxiously waiting for the result as we all are. Hes still sleeping alot and my nan is making herself ill with worry over what he can manage to eat. Im in a whirlwind at the moment as im rushing down to their house, rushing to work and rushing home to look after my husband and 3yr old little girl. Everything seems so frantic and the only thing that seems to be going slow is the results and treatment. When im not at my nan and pops house hes on the phone, Nan told me he thinks im some kind of specialist and know everything (which im not) but ive read up alot on his condition and im trying to reasure him constantly although half the time im looking for it myself. Now he thinks hes dying and were all hiding this from him, were not its just we have no answers to whats going on and im as frustrated as him. I didnt realise that this disease could take over your life but it has. Im constantly thinking about it and trying to find ways to beat it for my pop but im slowly realising i cant do this and hate the fact. Im so frightned of losing him and seem to be getting angry with the doctors as it seems its me thats pushing for something to be done. Its been 3 months now since he was diagnosed and theres no treatment being started and hes worried its spreading by the day till its gonna be to late. When will this all go away. People on this site are amazing people and have helped me soooo much by giving me the strength to be strong i will be eternally grateful. xx

    Hi Nicola,

    Your family is going through one of the worst parts of Cancer and thats waiting on the results.

    You have the strength the loving and the caring, but

    you also have to start thinking about your own health, you cant spread yourself around everybody without it taking its toll.  So try and make youself some me time even if its for only a couple of hours a day. I wiil send you all my strength and caring  and hope your Dads Results are good.

    Take care and be safe Big Hugs Love Sarsfield.xx

    thanks sarsfield and i know your right i do need some me time but just dont seem to have time for it lol. I rang my pop this morning and told him i wouldnt be down today so he automatically thinks theres something wrong. I explained i needed to catch up on some housework and some errands and he was ok after a while.( For some reason he seems to gain strength from me) so im at home feeling guilty lol. My hubbys at work at 6 till the morning so me and my little girls gonna have a girlie night which has been a while but when a 3yr old starts noticing im not there alot then its time i was.

    Take good care and lots of respect Nicola xx

    Dear Nicola, yes, the waiting is horrible, you feel so helpless and as you have found, angry at the lack of urgency. I hope you get some answers soon. BUT please take care of yourself, you can't do everything, and your little girl (and husband) need you too. Love Val X
