Scared and waiting for answers

After 4 weeks of abdominal pain and sickness, a CT scan  found a mass on my pancreas, then a mass in my colon, and today I found out they had seen a third mass in my liver. I was admitted to hospital last week as a result. 
Had biopsies and a colonic stent fitted two days ago. I’m still not sure what type of cancer I’m dealing with and the  not knowing is torture. 

  • Hi  and a very warm welcome to the online community which I hope you'll find is both an informative and supportive place to be.

    I’m Anne, one of the Community Champions here on the Online Community, and I know how hard waiting for the results can be.

    The online community is divided into different support groups, so when you know what type of cancer you're dealing with take a look through this list and choose the appropriate group for you. You'll then connect directly with others who have the same type of cancer as you. 

    Once you've joined, you can start a new post in the same way as you did here and join in with existing conversations by clicking on 'reply'.

    It would be great if you could put something about your symptoms and medical tests to date into your profile as it really helps others when replying to you and also when looking for someone on a similar pathway. It also means that you don't have to keep repeating yourself. To do this click on your username and then select 'Profile'. You can amend it at any time and if you're not sure what to write you can take a look at mine by clicking on my username.

    I hope you don't have too much longer to wait for your results
