Early days

I’m Anne, one of the Community Champions here on the Online Community, and although I haven't had the same tests as you, I know how worrying waiting for tests and then the results can be.

The online community is divided into different support groups and I can see that you've already found and joined the bowel cancer group which is a great place to connect directly with others who have been through what you're going through now.

When you feel ready 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 what's led you to this point 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.

All the best for today

Having gone through the same tests as you I know how worrying waiting for results can be. My advice would be to try and immerse yourself in things that you enjoy doing so you don't have time to think about the 'what ifs'.

Also do post in the breast cancer group, which I can see you've joined, as there's nothing like talking to others who have either been where you are now or are currently going through the same process.
