Got my results appointment letter

As people have said, unfortunately the wait for tests and results seem like the longest waits ever.  Five sleeps!  Try to concentrate on your boys and keeping them occupied. In the time after they have gone to bed, pamper yourself and try to do things to take your mind off it and to make you tired so you can try to get some sleep.  It is very difficult but once you know  the results and what they need to do you will feel much better.

Thank you x

Hi Mummyto2boys. Just wanted to send you lots of big hugs and to say that once you have the results you can go on from there.The waiting at this stage really is the worst time. I know that you will be crossing off the days until then but in the meantime try to keep busy ,especially doing things that you normally enjoy. We have all been where you are now and got through it , so you will too . Be kind to yourself - sending even more hugs xx

Thank so much for your kind words

Hi Mummyto2boys I am just sending you hugs. Your situation takes me back to my own and I remember the waiting for the results after being told that "it looks like it could be cancer" being absolutely unbearable. The faces of the staff said it all and I was already convinced it would be bad news.  I couldn't eat or sleep.  As has been suggested, keeping occupied is key, and it really is not easy to think about anything else. Try not to assume the worst, as there are of course benign conditions it could be. I remember one of the things that helped me mentally was thinking to myself that if it turned out to be a cancer diagnosis, at least it had been found and that treatment could be planned asap, which ironically put me in a better position than I had been a month previous, blissfully ignorant of the situation. The results will be the same whether you spend many hours worrying over them or not, so try to be kind to yourself, I know it is much easier said than done. If, only if, its news you don't want, remember there are a lot of treatment options, and you would have great support from clinicians and also from this forum. But you are not there yet, this may not be anything to worry about. You are not alone even though it may feel like it right now. I am sending you lots of hugs. Hang in there. xx

Thank you for your support and kind words x
