Hi
waiting on biopsy results for skin cancer and really struggling with the wait. Constantly thinking the worst and don’t know how to distract myself, any advise
Hi KTS1 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've had both melanoma and basal skin carcinoma (BCC) so I have a good idea how you're feeling right now.
The online community is divided into different support groups so I'm going to recommend that you join us over in either the melanoma group or the skin cancer group, depending on which type of skin cancer you're being investigated for. In both group you'll connect directly with others who have had the same type of investigations as you and who can share their tips on coping.
To join, just click on the appropriate link and, 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'.
I found that spending as much time as I could doing things that I enjoyed help me stop worrying about the what ifs. You might find this article on how to ease worry when waiting for medical test results helpful.
Sending virtual ((hugs))
