Upcoming Scan and anxiety.

Hello HelenBK

Its nice to meet you. I have an Ileostomy and I have  had amazing support throughout my handling of my stoma on the support group here. Stoma Ileostomy and colostomy support group you could have a wander there as well. Click on names to read their bios and ask anything

I get very wobbly every time I have a scan or appointment with the team. It’s very worrying.
I think it’s how we are.
Flight or fight. 
You’re not alone here.
We know how you feel. 
I come here to give me some head space with people that get it and are not going to worry too much. 
it’s a safe space to talk opening and not worry our loved ones 

Thank you so much Artsie Ann, yes very difficult times. You are all so good here. Court has guided me, and  it’s a great feeling of not being alone. 

That’s this wonderful group. Here for each other and know how that anxiety can grab you. Do you know I said to my sister that I tend to get wobbly before any appointments and she’s a survivor of breast cancer twenty year plus.

She said. Of course you do!
Yes of course we all do.  
Take care and I hope all’s well.

Keep posting 

Thank you xxx

Even as a carer I used to feel anxiety rising . I also thing it was a bit of a trauma response to the very first scan and with over 35 scans we certainly got an opportunity to practice getting better . 
I am Holding out for more good news for you .

My dad is back on a stronger antibiotic for two weeks . The consultant said it may rebound and it did but hopefully this will be the end of the matter . Did you get a better antibiotic?

Court 

Thank you Court. Got a much better antibiotic. A bit like your dad, it does take longer than I thought. I really appreciate your support and everyone here. And on a strangely funny note my Consultant suggested I lose 2 stone. So anxiety and weight loss. So no chocolate cake.
