Yip I have a terrible case of the “ what ifs “ I cannot shake it over the last few days , at all !
What if the cancer is spreading throughout my body whilst im sitting here waiting for my onco appt and mri ( both next week) ?
What if the spots in my liver are cancer and it’s now much worse ?
What if I’m untreatable ????
What if I cannot find the strength ?
What if my children can’t cope ?
What if I had pestered the Dr sooner to be seen ?
What if I deserve this ?
I’m trying to be positive , the waiting is just awful as we all know though and I’m worried I’ve been waiting longer than most
Feels good to be able to vent a bit
Love to all

Dollydimple,
That's exactly my thoughts atm, its so hard not to let them run away with you on times, I've literally been 3 weeks since being told and have had a lot if tests (scans and biopsies) but still don't know the extent and any pain I'm now worrying is the cancer spread.
It is good to vent on here as nobody else can understand what we are going through.
Big hugs and love x
Thanks lovely
Sorry you’re still waiting too , you’ve got an appointment soon?
I think we’re just the same then huh
big hugs back

Yeah its just so frustrating and worrying having to wait so long
Always here if u need to chat, I'm having a rubbish day today, really down and stressed, hoping my mood changes tomorrow xx
Thanks lovely
Im just so frustrated and upset
I got so tense that my back went into a spasm , I could barely move ♀️
Hope you’re doing ok today
L xx
Same here ️
hope we can both have a better day tomorrow

I was so positive yesterday and today negative again. Why me? Is the question I ask myself often, what did I do so bad to deserve this? Not that I would wish this journey on anyone, it's horrible! I think we will always be asking ourselves questions. Even after treatment it will never go away.
Try and keep yourself busy these next few days and hopefully they will go quickly for you xx
I think you’re right , we all ask these questions , you don’t deserve this either
No one does
Hope you have a better day tomorrow if possible ️

Hi Dollydimple,
How you doing?
im just back of my holidays so been off the radar since last week. Looks like you finally got your results and you got more tests to go and more waiting, I know like me you just want things to move a bit quicker and get started on treatment.
I had two phone calls while away finally got my oncology appointment for next week but they also rang wanting an urgent PET scan so got that on Monday, I’m just hoping the results are back ready for Thursday and get my CT results too.
sending hugs

Hey
How was your holiday , did you catch some sunshine ️?
Yes absolutely same as you , waiting , panicking , waiting
I’ve got onco Tuesday , surely they’ll have a plan by then ?
So your onco is Thurs then , hope they’ve got all your results together so can get on with treatment !
Otherwise we will both be going bonkers
love & hugs
L xx
