Struggling today

Oh I know how you feel I’ve been going on 6 years with mets liver lung it’s so horrible when you can’t call anyone due to the weekend … I’ve got lung resection due anytime … feel free to chat anytime xx

Hi Hattie 50 thanks for being there, think I've been doing ok and trying to remain positive as need to know what my prognosis is, really praying it will be the best it can but as each day goes by I have more worries and concerns. You sound so upbeat considering what you have been through and what is to come, makes me realise just how many strong supportive people are out there. I know Friday will soon be here and I will have the information I'm waiting for so just have to take it 1 day at a time and then deal with what I'm told. Wishing you all the very best and have everything crossed for us both and everyone else in a similar situation. Xx

Would your GP have your results ! My mum was able to get them from hers if there was a delay ! Some are maybe not so keen but my mum’s was fine once it was a more established patient in the process !

Court 

Hi Court, I have never actually  met my GP, we relocated  on August  13th to be nearer to family  after living away for a few years and on the day we moved I had a fall and badly broke  my ankle and ended up in hospital  having an op to insert pins and plates.  Whilst recovering  I had a recall from bowel screening  and was then diagnosed with a rectal  tumour on Oct 8th. It's just been one hospital  visit after another for the last couple of weeks  but just now waiting  to hear the outcome which to be honest would prefer to hear from the consultant  as I don't know  my gp at all.

Hi, Chelmarsh, you sound like you've been in the wars! The only consolation I can offer is that it is slow growing. If you are really worried can you ring the hospital tomorrow? I waited a month between diagnosis and operation, so you are still within that, not that it helps! Always rant on here you will get a sympathetic ear even if we can't help with the waiting! This is the worst time, and it gets better. (((Hugs)))

Hi I know exactly how you feel, I was diagnosed 3 weeks ago, had CT/MRI very quickly afterwards, I was told I was on the list to get my results last Tuesday but that didn’t happened and it’s been moved to this Tuesday, I have been really positive the last 2 weeks but now getting very anxious and worried, it’s all getting too real now and the waiting hasn’t helped, I wish you all the luck for your results xx 

Many thanks Gemmary, it helps just to hear others have same or similar problems,  I'll keep posting  for the support.  X

Seashelley, all the best for Tuesday! Try not to worry , easier said than done. Just remember to take your list of questions and a pen to write down the answers!

Hi Seashelly, it seems we are in the  same situation , the waiting is definitely  the worst but as you say it all seems so real as the day approaches but whatever happens we need to know  what we are up against.  I also wish you all the luck in the world for a good outcome,  please let me know  how you  get on xx

Thank you so much, I have started writing questions down, I just hope they call me after the meeting to book me in to get my results and I don’t have to wait too long x
