Hi Everyone,
As the title suggests I have just joined the community and this is my first attempt at blogging. Not just here but ever.
I have not long been diagnosed with my problem and am quite ill informed as to what I can expect in the future. Not that my consultant is not informative, only that, I expect, he has not got all the evidence he needs to advise me propery. I am not unduly worried but I still find things a bit scary. I have my next consultation on the 19th August when I get the results of my CT Scan and from some blood tests that are to be taken prior to that date. The lead up to that I expect to be more and more scary as the time approaches.
If you read my profile you will realise as I do that my situation is not as serious as most but living alone literally it would be good if anyone out there who has been down this road could suggest what I might expect.

the simple truth is ... yes we all play the waiting game.... tests... wait... results...wait....decision on treatment .... wait.. surgery...wait..... treatment ....wait.... tests to see if it worked ......wait... round and round we go.
also we all have the fear in the wee small hoursalthough ,i am married my hubby works in mexico (trying to get work in uk but its difficult)so i got a small kettle, brought the tea making gear up to my bedroom and lie/sit in bed with a cuppa watching telly till i feel like i can sleep. for me comedy`s are the best distraction, no serious stuff, escapisim fantasy any thing that you dont have to think about.
no you are not a wimp, this thing called cancer has another name.... hell..... you cope how you can and everyone is different.
the only advice i can give is you must try to keep things as normal as it is possible, normal is good, never lose hope, hope keeps us going.
and if you need to talk we have a chatroom on here usually at any given time there are a few people on insommniacs too, you can get advice, have a laugh even when you think you cant laugh, or just listen in,
good luck malcom. liz xx
ps only the people who replied to your blog will see this... if you want more people to see it you need to write a new one x
