  • Hi . Yes this not knowing is horrible and stressful however once your team has all the scan and biopsies back then they’ll be in the best place to meet and decide on a treatment plan for you. Once you have a plan in place then things will feel a little better - honestly. 
    Hang on in there and try and keep busy and, as you say, hopefully you’ll get to know a bit more tomorrow.

    Take care and let us know how you get on

  • Thank you Karen, yes the waiting is awful and I'm imagining all sorts, I have to be the worst overthinker, but yes hopefully when things get clearer I will feel better

  • Hi ShazzE. 

    I just want to echo what Kareno62 has said.  The waiting and not knowing is the worst part and I too was overthinking.  Try and distract yourself – I know it’s easier said than done.  Hopefully tomorrow you’ll know more and soon have a treatment plan in place and you will start to feel better.

    Take care and very best wishes.
