What does everyone do to stop the panicky feelings whilst waiting for scan results? I’m finding it hard today, I’ve done housework, im making a roast and watching things on telly to keep my mind busy! Feel like I may even resort to a glass of wine although I probably shouldn’t!!!
This is exactly how I feel! I don't know what to do with myself. Found out I had an ovarian cyst found when I was 14 weeks pregnant ( my baby is now 21 months ) and have had it drained 3 times, had it removed nearly 7 weeks ago and was told last Monday it was cancerous. There were no signs it was cancerous on any ultrasounds and the fluid tested benign after each drainage but histology results came back and they found out it had early stage cancer cells. The ovary and tubes were also removed and consultant said the cancer was contained within the cyst/ovary but the issue is they had spilt the fluid inside me during the op. I had a CT scan on Thursday and have been worried sick! It's all I can think about. I can't stop panicking and thinking the worst! I know I'm no help to you but it's a help to know I'm not alone. It's so hard isn't it. Your mind can't be anywhere else.
Oh my days that’s such a lot to take in!! I know we have to just go with our feelings but sometimes it’s so hard but at least on rhis community you can say exactly how you feel and know that you’re not alone we are all in this together! I was diagnosed with Triple negative breast cancer and waiting to find out when my chemo starts as it’s chemo first then op. I have also been told they have seen a cyst on my liver so waiting to see if that’s ok or not. The wait is madness I feel like I’m climbing the walls today! Sending big love and hugs to anyone that needs it today because I know I sure do xx
It's so scary to have those words said to you isn't it. As scared as i'am to even look at other peoples stories it's nice to be able to chat to people on here like yourself going through this easily thing!
Bless you, this must be such a tough time for you. You have a lot going on all at once and waiting for results is the absolute worst isn't it.
I really hope chemo goes well and that the cyst is nothing. Sending lots of love and hugs also because we all definitely need it don't we Xx
