Hi. I've now been diganosed with mestastic bone cancer on my sternum bone which has come from my appendix cancer I had 6 yrs ago. It really has been a tough few weeks since my major op on the 1st July 2024. I'm having a scan done with contrast next Thursday to see if it has spread eles where' fingers crossed it hasn't. I'm getting so fed up& tired of all this now' it just seems never ending.
Hi XBREEZEX I am so sorry to hear this. What a worry for you whilst you wait for the scan. I am not surprised you are feeling fed up. Remember you can call the macmillan support line if you need to chat to someone. They are available 7 days a week from 8am until 8pm on 0808 808 00 00.
Thankyou chelle. Have you or anyone suffered from panic/anxiety attacks as I had one early this morning. Any help on this would be much appreciated' especially how to cope with it.X
Hi, yes I have suffered with anxiety since diagnosis stage 4 lung cancer, which they say is treatable, so I know that waiting for results is hell, my cancer nurse has put me on Amitriptyline which has helped. I find going for a walk and listening to a pod cast passes an hour and always feel better when I get back . Best of luck xx
Hi XBREEZEX I am sorry you had a panic attack, that must of been very scary. I have found an information sheet that you may find helpful that has links to support for anxiety symptoms and panic attacks. I’ll pop a link below for you to click on, it will take you to the page.
