having a wobble

Hi Stepfor03

Quite understandable to have a wobble, we all do on this journey. Deep breaths, one step at a time. You have been great keeping all under control so far , so don’t be hard on yourself for wobbling a bit. A really tough time for you so be gentle on yourself.

Trying to figure out the whole of this journey in one go is impossible, we all just have to wait for each stage and deal with things as we learn about them, and yes the not knowing is the worst thing. My partner was tearing her hair out waiting for each stage of my results, I’ve been through it twice before so knew I was in good hands with our wonderful NHS, so more relaxed but still the waiting does get to you. Sadly there are delays and this is a complex area the doctors work in, we all would like results quicker and I’m sure the medics do all they can for us.

take care and good luck with everything

Thank you for your kind reply, this weekend has been such a tough one .. blood results come back today and the nerves are immense. I just want to know what i'm dealing with so i can start to fight if needs be .. i'm sure there will be some relief in knowing for sure but its still a stomach knottingly apprehension waiting for the call.

Hi  a second welcome to the Macmillan Online Community, a Community that no one really plans to see themselves joining, and so sorry to hear about your on going diagnosis.

I have been on my cancer journey for over 21 years now so waiting for results and a plan can be very stressful. Having had multiple relapses over the years I quickly understood that I could throw all the worry and stress I could muster at this but in reality it made no difference to what I was eventually told, but controlling the battle between the ears helps you deal with the journey you end up on.
