I'm going to clinic tomorrow to find out if I have cancer. I'm terrified of everything but what if I fall apart

Thank you for all the lovely comments I have been incredibly lucky and it's negative so I'm fine don't need anything. 

  • you wont, and if you cry and feel upset if you do, that is not falling apart. here are some virtual hugs to take with you from people who have been there. please come back and tell us how you get on

  • Hi it's alright to feel like this take some one with you so they can write down information you need, take your time breath and let them explain. They will have a plan for you if it's needed. Sending you big hugs all of us are with you x

  • You won't fall apart. You can feel shocked, numb, overwhelmed, terrified - we all go through the same sort of emotions at the beginning and  it is scary, but it will go away once you know what's ahead of you! We are thinking of you, we are together in this! Sending you love and hugs! XX 

  • What you are feeling is completely natural. And I'm sure if you do fall apart in front of medical team you won't be the first and certainly not the last. As others have said take someone with you and if you are worried about missing something why not ask if you can record the appointment. Take a list of questions. And when you have your diagnosis don't be a stranger on here - it's so much friendlier and helpful than Dr google

  • Thanks to you all for taking the time to reply 

  • Thinking of you sending big hugs we have all been there deep breaths as everyone said take  someone with you it's alot to take in you are in the best care come back let's us know how you got on xx

  • I received my diagnosis last week and you'll be surprised how you hold it together.  I was nearly sick before I went in but the nurses and consultants are so lovely that they put you at your ease.  If you do wobble then that is fine too as Djct said earlier.  Best wishes for the best outcome.  We are all thinking of you.
