Got diagnosis

Yes, it’s the waiting. I see the surgeon next week although the consultant who took the biopsy said I will need surgery and this discussion is simply which.

Hello Squeeze1958, 

Sorry you find your else here.  ...... just to let you know... you are possibly at the worst part of your treatment now, along with scan results - we call them "scan-iexty".

The waiting is honestly the hardest part.  Once you have a plan of action you will be amazed at how you handle it.  Suddenly 'Super Woman' appears and you 'just want it done - no matter what' - the never seem to go and the strength starts to show.  

Don't get me wrong you will still have lots of up's and down's - a good day can turn into a bad day in the click of a finger and vice versa. 

Life will be strange till you have a plan - you are on a roller coaster, you have been given a ticket and are waiting for the ride to start.... 

Please remember 'you will get though this' - you won't be the same person 'before' this .... sadly, and I will be honest, that person has already gone and you have a new person stepping forward... you will like her, given time you will.

For now, as easy as it is for me to say this 'try not to worry' - it is true ..... worrying won't change anything - it will just drain you and steal you 'here and now'.  

If you ever need a pick me up or can't sleep - look out for the 'AWAKE' thread - we are all in and out of there all the time and the knowledge between us - well what we don't know isn't worth knowing - the ladies and gents are absolutely incredible.

Look out for....

Thank you for your reply. To know someone is there makes alot of difference. 

Best wishes

Thank you for your reply. I realise it is what it is and preparing for the biggest fight of my life. I am very positive (as my friends and family  tell me) and wont let the 'beast' beat me. 

Feeling tired and keep nodding off in the evening. Settle down to watch masterchef ect and boom, I've gone hahaha. Can feel the dribble. Not a good look but hey who cares. My dog is snuggling with me and we both end up asleep.  Roll on next week when scans get done and I can move forward. 

Best wishes
