I’ve been on here a few times in the last week as I come to grips with this potential diagnosis. Im so glad these forums are here because this period of pending tests for full diagnosis is the loneliest place I’ve ever resided . Im well supported by my husband but honestly im trying to support him too so having somewhere to talk openly about worries and concerns and receive the help and support of others who are also going through some dark times is nothing short of amazing and Im very very grateful . I do so wish that this waiting period was better supported somehow within the NHS , and didn’t rely solely on charitable organisations such as this . I was told my GP was my interim support but I’m still waiting for a phone call I booked at 8am this morning because they are so so busy , and I think it’s likely I will have to try her again tomorrow now …. I find myself worrying constantly about my symptoms worsening before I finally have my tests and hopefully treatment and I’m sure that once my cancer team is in place I’ll feel less alone but right now , just so so lonely and frightened with it all …. That being said the help and advice on here has been truly appreciated x
EllyB,
You must phone your GP again tomorrow. She can prescribe medication to help your understandable anxiety.
If it’s of any consolation at all, during my appointment with the oncology specialist she said one of the triggers that pointed to my first diagnosis being wrong was the speed that this shadow had grown. Apparently lung cancer doesn’t behave that way.
I wish with all my heart that I could speed things up for you.
I'm here to listen. 
Sue
