Scared of getting results from Oncologist

Hi

Hi you're really not alone with the fear of results. I think everyone who has a cancer diagnosis fears these. I remember getting my results so clearly. It's the waiting inbetween having the test and receiving the results that's drives you mad. I've never suffered with anxiety but waiting for results I suffered badly. I actually phoned up for mine and was lucky to get them over the phone which they was all clear. The gush of relief was unreal , I cried uncontrollably ! Mad hey you get good news and you cry. 

Obviously my reply wont ease your anxiety ,but it will show you that you are not alone. Try and keep busy , and take one day at a time. It's ok to have a wobble you really wouldn't be human if you didnt. Hope your results are happy results.

take care

Hi Julie,  

Feeling anxious is really normal.  I also had the 2 ct scans and bone scan, and the radiologists were really nice with me,  even making jokes,  and the woman who did the bone scan let my husband film a bit on his phone. Under normal circumstances I'd have found that reassuring,  but I was so terrified I gave myself new pains in my back and chest,  which I then convinced myself meant it was in my bones and lungs! On the way to clinic our bus was stopped for five minutes by a funeral, a really big one with black horses and a carriage! When we arrived for our 2PM appointment it was running really late, so we waited almost two agonising hours. It was fine, and I subsequently had level 3 clearance where nothing was found.

I know you will be in a state until tomorrow, but lots of hugs to you, and fingers crossed!!!xxx
