I completely understand that anyone waiting for results is anxious. I would be. It's a normal response to the unknown.
I'm trying to support a friend who has had several tests and should soon get all the results and a treatment plan.
But each day the friend comes up with yet another ridiculous possibility, quite probably behaviour that is a denial of the facts. Actually, this friend created what almost amounted to conspiracy theories to explain their discomfort over the past couple of years.
I'm not a psychologist but does denial and fear lead to some people lashing out and misunderstanding? Would these feelings be ended with a diagnosis?
The friend means a lot to me but I'm feeling so tired. I'm starting to wonder if results will not be shared when they come. A diagnosis of cancer would I feel go against what my friend thinks is wrong with them.
Like the Red warning storm many of us experienced recently, this feels like a psychological storm. 
Any insights? Advice?
Hi
I’m Anne, one of the Community Champions here on the Online Community and you're completely right that waiting for the results of tests to see if you have cancer or not is a very stressful time, but thankfully for your friend they have you to support them.
As you know the online community is divided into different support groups so I'm going to recommend that you join the family and friends group, as you'll then connect directly with others who are supporting someone and where you can share your feelings and get support
To join, just click on the link I've created and, once you've joined, you can start a new post in the same way as you did here and join in with existing conversations by clicking on 'reply'.

Many thanks Anne
