Waiting

Hello smiles, I hope you are managing to cope okay………honestly waiting is the worst part of this.  The 2WW seems to depend on where you are in the country……Have you thought about giving the hospital a ring. Even if you didn’t know the number you could phone the switchboard and ask them to put you through….some have a dedicated 2WW line but if not you could  ask to be put through to urology out patients clinic appointments….if that’s not the right number they may be able to give you a number.

I must admit,  the way I got through it was to do everything that I could to distract myself whilst waiting for the appointment as to keep focussing on it drove me mad…….but it’s easier said than done.

Your name oozes positivity and it’s great if you can try to remain as positive as possible. The best advice that I was given was not to go down rabbit holes of what if this happens or that happens…..just take each day as it comes ……..at times it’s not easy I know….but it helped me. A number of us  have and are receiving treatment of some kind and there are new treatments being developed every day.and so even if you do have a diagnosis of cancer try not to panic.

Do keep posting on here…you are going through a difficult time and one that no one would want to be going through…..you will find support from this group.

Sending you a big hug, Jules

Thank you so much for your reply.

Update, I got an appointment for the second week in June and then a couple of days later, this was changed to next Monday (day 14) & so I assume this was a failsafe/breaches check.

It's been a difficult week at work, because I have been so tired, but half day tomorrow and half day on Monday. Not working this weekend for once.

Feeling calmer today. Just need to sleep and so have bought some herbal sleep remedy (fingers crossed) 

This may sound like an odd way of looking at this but the last few years have been crazily busy and stressful at work and this may force me to rest and have some time off! No more overtime.

Tomorrow, I will feel differently, I am sure

Try not to worry...easier said than done I know. Have you been given any treatment options yet? Take each day as it comes...look after yourself and keep positive x
