Good evening all,
I've just signed up to this online community. Was given initial diagnosis a couple of weeks ago. Trying to stay positive (especiallywhenI'mchatting with my boys), but inside I'm so scared. One more lot of biopsies then should find out my treatment plan. The waiting is almost unbearable. Am I just being impatient or is this normal?
Healing hugs to you all.
It’s really hard enduring this waiting.
i found all I could do was do things to distract myself for periods of time, but accept that the thoughts would quickly come in to my head when not distracted. It does give a bit of relief though from being preoccupied with it all the time x
Sorry you have been diagnosed and now starting this roller coaster of a journey. I am 4 months in, post surgery and radiotherapy and on hormone treatment. The main advice I can give is take it day by day, don’t look too far ahead and try not to worry about things that may not happen. I quickly realised that I would not google anything as you only seem to read terrible scenarios. So I focused only on what the medical team around me said. Day by day….and hopefully all will be well, sort of, but it’s a long hard road and you have to learn that life will never return to what it was. You will just be a new you. Sending you positive vibes and a huge hug xx
