I know everyone on here is as worried as me. I’ve been diagnosed and was told my results if biopsy would b available last Monday I would have an mri and my surgery would be scheduled to happen the next two weeks. I chased it on Wednesday. My mri is now on 9th April. Finding it very hard worrying about it spreading during the delay. Also having nobody to talk to. I keep hearing about asking your team. I don’t know if I have a team or a nurse as was told when I called mine is in isolation. Feeling lost and alone
Hi and welcome to the Online Community, although I am sorry to see you finding us and so sorry to hear about your diagnosis - this must have been a big shock to you.
The NHS is indeed under a lot of pressure so some delays are going to happen.
A cancer diagnosis can bring a lot of stress, confusion and many questions but talking with people who are on the same journey can help a lot.
You don’t say what type of cancer so have a look through our various Cancer specific groups.
Posting in this group will open up your concerns to a wider group of people who know exactly what you are going through at the moment.
