Remember the Carpenters song Please Mr Postman? Well I'd like to sing it to our postman, no results yet and past the 2 week window. I forget about it most of the time, but it seems so long since I first had the bleed when it's really only a couple of months. Friends are asking me if I've heard yet. I receive it with good grace (they care, I know) but it's kind of like when I was past due with my kids and occasionally well-meaning acquaintances would greet me with 'You're still here then?'! When I know, I'll trumpet it from the rooftops, ok? Well, I'll tell my boss, my best mate at work, and my reflexologist at least. Good or bad news, they'll hear it. So please understand that asking me if I've heard yet isn't a good opening to a conversation as I want to forget that I might have cancer until I'm told I do/don't have cancer. And I want to stay friends with you rather than yell 'Give it a rest can't you?' because you may not understand.
Thank you.
