I found a lump on my neck on tuesday. Went to doc on thursday and after exam he said 'suspected cancer'. Right to my face, no faffing about. Was shocked to say the least.

Its just a waiting game now, have to go for blood tests on tues and he's sent a letter to ENT at local hospital. He said urgent but in reality it could be a couple of weeks.

My husband refuses to talk about it till he knows for certain so I am coming on here to get it all out as I have told only my sister but she is on the other side of the pond and going through ther own troubles at the minute.

I am feeling weird, like I knew it was going to be bad news and not really getting upset at all. I know I have not had results but its like I already know.

My mother died 12 years ago of thyroid cancer so I know what I may have to go through. It was not nice and she fought for 18 months but ultimately she was diagnosed late. Maybe that is the only thing scaring me.

I'll get back when I know more

Hi R

My thoughts are with you right now and I hope you get your hospital appointment sooner rather than later,as waiting is awful.

Hopefully your hubby will talk to you about it and support you through this time.

Hugs

Josanne

Hi Ya Dinnerlady,

Dont let the Dr frighted you, your husband has the right idea. Wait until you have the tests done and the results back before thinking the worst.

Have alook at my site and it will give you an idea what to expecy if things dont turn out right. Also stay on this site there are people here that are so fullof love and caring and understanding. It will help you to ask any questions or any worries that you have. As Hubby says just wait.

Take care and be safe Love sarsfield.xx

Stay strong. I feel a bit of thinking about the "what ifs" can be helpful, but at the same time you have to avoid letting the fears take over and ruining life.

Take things one step at a time.

Best wishes, be patient when biopsies take a while
