Cancer enquires

It's not unusual for there to be a wait of several weeks between cancer being confirmed by a biopsy and seeing the consultant.   During that time information about your husband's case will be gathered and presented to a multi-disciplinary team and a treatment plan will be put together. 

Biopsy results in isolation don't tell lay people much which is why they are generally given in the context of a bigger picture. 

Thankyou for your reply we are just feel fish out of water at the moment. And we have to isolate which doesn’t help at this time xxx

Hi Sandyd57, I agree 100%, the wait is so hard, you feel lost and alone but I feel you.  You and I have done the right thing by reaching out to the community here.  I am sure there are lots of people to help, listen and be there for you both.  Have you been assigned a nurse at the hospital?  My mum has been told she has a tumour on the lung which has spread outside the cavity to the nerves however we are still waiting for a needle biopsy on nodules on her Thyroid before we get the final diagnosis/prognosis and treatment options - to us it feels like forever but all anxiety is exaggerated for me due to the virus situation.  I just want to get mum some help and it seems like there is always another test along the line that we need before we can move to the next step.  Mum remains positive at the moment but her resolve has started to crack, she called her nurse and had a good chat and raised her concerns, it helped her a bit.  If I understand correctly the nurse is there for family too so don't be scared to reach out.  

Wishing you and your husband the very best, take care xx
