The waiting is nearly over

1 minute read time.

hi as some of you may know i was at my doctors last week due to me finding a lump and severe bleeding, well i was at my doctors again this morning about another problem i'm having, she asked me how iwas and if i had heard anything back about  biopsy as nothing had come back to her, i explained that i'd heard nothing back and went for my MRI yesterday anyways she phoned his secetary and left a message. I got a call just after 12 today and all my doctor could do was comfirm that i do have cancer and my consultant or his sectary will be intouch today to arrange a meeting for tomorrow as he now has all my results. I am scared shitless to be honest. My doctor has been great and has always been upfront and truthful with me which i appreciate as i explained in my 1st post she was sure it was cancerous and got me seen the very next day, she didnt sound too great on phone she said to phone her tomorrow to let her know how i am.

its going to be one heck of a long night. the fear has came back. also i face going to see him alone tomorrow my daughter is unwell we got a letter from the nursery about swine flu as 14 children had been ill and this was the suspected reason, she became ill very quickly yesterday afternoon and still unwell today her temp  down now but she is still not right, due to lack of family and my best friend just having a baby on friday there is only my husband robert to care for her.

ive always said this my whole life if it wasnt for bad luck i'd have none at all.

every time i do something good or get on with my life something bad happens and ruins it. Sorry i'm only feeling sorry for myself. Need a good cry into my pillow i think its hard though i'm trying so hard to carry on not letting the kids see or hear to much but its taken over my life every when i go, every person i seem to have met its a bloody hell of a disease effecting so many good people in this world

    Thank you for your words i got the phone call and went in there and then. I have stage 2 b cervical cancer and affected lymph nodes, they have requested a ct scan of my abdomen and chest which will be done asap and on wed they will have a MDT meeting and will get back in touch with me then but was told my treatment should or will start before the end of the month prob the 3rd week. I went on my own and to be honest i'm fine - just now anyways.

    Hi Sarah, I remember when i got the confirmation and it felt almost like a relief. At last the waiting was over andI knew that I was going to receive the best of treatment and care to get me through. I could give myself permission to feel sorry for myself and not to worry about other people for a little while. The only thought in my head was to get through it for my daughters. I am sure that you are also worrying about the effects on your children and your partner but you will surprise yourself with the inner strength that comes from dealing with this dreadful disease. Accept all help that is offered and don't feel guilty for not being able to all the things you usually do. My nurse said it is best to view this as a short episode in your life, an interruption to your routine, something to get to the end of and then pick up where you left off. I have tried to do just that and it really has helped. You will have lots of difficult and emotinally as well as physically draining times but you will also have moments of utter joy and happiness when the 'good days' come along. Enjoy the good and forget the bad. A friend said to me on a particularly bad day that i should remember who i am and who i was and that i am still that person, cancer doesn't take away the true essence of of who you are, it just makes it a bit cloudy and difficult to find for a while. Stay positive, hug the children lots and lots and be kind to yourself.

    lots of love - kate
