Tomorrow my mum gets her results back from the MRI and the CT scan that she had. Her appt was originally on 5.9.19 but they moved it forward. I am worried that they done this because it’s more serious than where they took the biopsy. I’m going with her to get the results and I am really scared and worried about everything.

Thank you so much for replying to my post and it’s comforting knowing I have here to post. I just hope it’s nothing more serious than what they first thought. If that makes sense. I am a nervous wreck but trying so hard to not keep allowing myself to break which seems like I’m failing at xx
Thank you for your reply to this post.
I have the notebook and some questions prepared. Just hope I don’t break down in tears in the room and be strong. It’s just so hard.
Sorry I haven't replied I've had issues with my phone.. Probably thrown it across my room once too often . I understand completely . I went into a meltdown when my partner diagnosed with prostrate cancer and I went overbearing pushy, etc.. And wanted to protect me because I do have mental health issues and previous alcohol issues.. I lost my dad to cancer . Worked with asbestos when... And.. Wasn't good.. But . Its a .. I do hope you're OK when I lost my dad I didn't really talk to anyone and . Isolated etc.. When partner diagnosed I actually walked past macmillan van 3 times . Went in eventually and I cried and cried . The people were absolutely amazing.. Listened to my fears . Etc . Don't ever apologise . xxx I failed completely . And I tried to look after everyone . And ended up .... In a very bad place... You're not alone . Just reach out.. Xxx
Hello
Its ok I understand. I’ve done the same and now have ended up with a scratched IPhone XR which I haven’t had long. Whoops!
Im sorry to read your partner has cancer. How are things with him? (Don’t feel you need to mention) and that you lost your dad to cancer as well.
I don’t believe you failed. We all deal with things differently and also want to help others around you and you get pushed to the back until you’ve helped. I feel I failed for being the one that was crying. My mum didn’t. I feel I’ve let her down because I’ve not been strong.
Sorry to hear about your MH problems as well. I’m the same. It’s hard. Are you in the UK? Do you mind if I send you a PM? If not, it’s ok xx
Really don’t understand why reaching out at times/most times so hard xx
Pm me that's OK xx I'm alright getting there least of my issues it happens I have my wouldn't say happy tablets but they help I'm in therapy now so...someone gets paid to sort my head out... Talking is necessary.. Being strong is differcult . ... Do you know what my dad family friend diagnosed with breast cancer.. Been treated and in good health and being monitored.. Another family friend worked same place as my dad. . Not saying anything and partner and all in all what I found they even my dad just wanted to be treated like a human being .. Not fussed over...why partner didn't tell me when had his prostrate removed.. Didn't tell me I was told by my partner to stop fussing.. Because . I know so I suggested to his friend and his macmillan nurse I haven't mentioned it since let alone I did break down other day which totally annoyed him... Sometimes even I have had to accept they want to confide in other than you That's differcult and why need to reach out on here xx
