Hi ,I have just been revered for a urgent endoscopy,have been under gp care since December with on going stomach problems,started with abdomen pain also three weeks ago ,over the last two months have now lost over a stone in weight,feeling poorly very scared and anxious can't sleep ,I no this is serious and feel very alone,my body is slowly disappearing in front of me ,when I actually get some treatment I feel it will be to late,so so scared and feeling so alone ,I don't no where to turn .
Hi letting you no I have just had the letter for the endoscopy ,there doing it this Friday on the 6th ,haven't been feeling too well today ,now I no the date I breath a sigh of relief,but I am also petrified as now I can find out what we are going to be facing,I must try and go in positive just feeling lost and scared especially with the weight loss I've had and not feeling right,hopefully with my partner's support will get through this and face whatever it may be,take care and will let you no how it goes xx
Hi sadly scared Good news about the appointment,i will be thinking of you.I know about those feelings we want the scans but we dont want bad news.I am feeling exactly the same, one minute i am ok and the next crying,sad lost and scared.At least you have a partner to help you face this problem,i have not got a partner but a great sister who will be by my side thankfully ( see crying now ) Take care and yes please let me know how it all goes Xx
You have got hundreds of people on this site plus all your friends and family wishing you good luck whatever you are facing. I certainly felt a lot of comfort when people were sharing my woes and giving their advice and support here. I bet we are all scared on this forum, I am usually twitching with fear when appointments and test results are due.
Fingers, toes and everything crossed for you.
