Results are in !

Elly this is such a difficult time for you and it's difficult not to feel scared. I hope you can find some nice things to do this weekend and seeing friends and/or family.  I didn't find doing nice things distracted me all the time from the appointment but it did give me some occasional temporary relief from the anxiety.  Even doing routine things like going to Tescos did help me. Is someone going with you to your appointment on Monday? I'm wishing you good luck and will be thinking of you. 

Hi Elly 

i have messaged you, wishing for you all results can be worked with and a plan made, you can do this.

Hugs Donna

Hi Hetty thanks for the lovely reply , I’ve just had some friends call that did distract for awhile so that’s been nice. I guess I can’t escape being scared though but I’ll try to keep busy

Thanks Donna , reading your message now love  

How are you doing Hetty ? X

Good luck Elly. Try and stay busy until then, hope you have good support at home xx 

Thanks Chelle

Thinking of you Elly, have a restful weekend xx

I'm good thank you Elly. I'm further along than you as I was diagnosed on 1 June with stage4 adenocarcinoma. I remember the terrified state I was in so well and so alone.  I was told over the phone and didn't see the oncologist for 3 weeks as they needed the pathology results to see what treatment I could have.   I'm having targeted therapy now. After 6 weeks of treatment I had a scan which showed the primary tumour had shrunk, the others were stable, and no new growths. I am tolerating the medication and it's working. But I'm having a 3 monthly scan at the beginning of November so scanxiety is around the corner. Really hope you can have some relaxing time with distractions over the weekend.  And once a treatment plan was in place for me it was reassuring and I have a lovely specialist nurse.

That sounds so positive Hetty , fingers crossed for your scan result . Hope you’ll keep me posted x
