not good at the waiting

1 minute read time.

Well, at least I managed to get throug the mri this time without a complete meltdown. Drugs certainly do help to calm the nerves, lol. And now we have the nervous wait to find out if the cancer is localised to the original spot, or has spread. Am not very good at this part. So many emotions have been bought back to the surface of the bubbling couldrin that is me, and all these new ones on top threaten to make me explode. Im so frustrated with myself, I know that we just have to stay calm and wait to see what they say, and that they are still tons of options. I know what i should be thinking, but I just cant stop imagining the worst. Why to we let our minds play tricks on us. I dont know how many times on chat I have told new people waiting, to just try and stay clam, and yet here i am in a right litle tis. It just wasnt meant to be like this. Im only 28 should be out enjoying life, not trying to dig deep and find the strength somewhere hidden inside (which hopefully i will find soon) to fight this for a second time. Sorry for moaning I know youve all heard it a thousand times before, just needed to let it out before i explode.

    Hi Robynn

    Explode away!! Sometimes its just better to let it all out.  I have learnt that during my journey just to go with the emotions cry, scream, shout,moan and even smile when the mood takes me - go with the flow....emotions are a strange thing and time is a wonderful healer.

    Hope you get the results you crave and the news is a cause for celebration - will have a glass with you!!!

    Take care here if you need a chat

    Hi Robynn...I think we all feel the same when we are waiting for results...im one of the most calm laid back people on earth...all through my treatment i stayed positive...and i was the one reassuring my family that i was going to be fine...but in the days before results time im a gibbering wreck...i imagine allsorts of scenarios... they gonna tell me its back and i'l have to do it all again...i get aches n pains...real or imaginary?...i dont know...i think its only natural. My last scan was clear Thank God...and i was so relieved and back to my positive self...but i know that when my next scan is due...i'l be the same wreck again..it goes with being a cancer sufferer. I hope everything is clear and its all good news Robynn...take care..love Sharon xxx

    Hi Ya Robynn,

    You dont have to apologise to anybody. I must agree 100% with Tabitha on this one. You do whatever mood takes you. Just let your feelings go, and be proud of what you have done.Good Luck.

    Take care and be safe Big Hugs Sarsfield.xxx

    Hi Robynn,

                     You are fully entitled to have a good moan.This rotten disease not only affects our bodies but our thoughts and emotions too. It IS unfair and you SHOULD be enjoying life . However, hold on to the hope that the results will be good  and remember that you have already shown great strengh and I'm sure you will continue to do so.

                       Keeping everything crossed for you,

                                   Take care and feel well,

                                             Love lizzie
