Hi Helen, welcome to the group but sorry you find yourself here. There are a number of reasons why you have this scarring, but you are right, it is nerve racking waiting to find out what it could be.
This group is very welcoming, and a good place to come and chat whilst you wait for the Ct results. I am sure you will find lots of support and encouragement here. Sometimes it makes us feel better to just come and put our thoughts into words, knowing someone will read and understand how you feel.
I am sure others will be along to welcome you here soon too x
You won’t offend anyone Hec789 we have all been in your shoes, having tests and in limbo waiting for results. We will all just pray that your results come back as not cancerous.
This beginning stage, where you are, having tests, being told maybe it’s a) or b) but can’t confirm until all tests are back, is in some ways the most difficult part of any of our journeys. It seems that once we are told and are given a treatment plan, things seem to settle. I think it’s the fear of the unknown and in many ways, knowledge is power.
It is good to hear that your sister is doing well. Although some cancers are hereditary, most are just down to really bad luck. My family have the BRCA1 gene, which I do not carry, but I still ended up with cancer. My sister sadly does have the gene, and she has had breast cancer, but the cancer was completely unrelated to BRCA1. I think we must be one of the most unlucky families. X
