I was diagnosed with what the doctor thought was ovarian cancer but after going in to hospital to have fluid drained from my abdomen they have said they now think its in my bowel or upper intestine m expecting a phonecall on Tuesday from a Dr from Velindre Cancer hospital but it's knocked me for 6 as I don't know what to expect again, I haven't started on a treatment plan yet I'm hoping I'll know more on Tuesday but I feel like I'm in limbo land again
Hi ShazzE. 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

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.
