Still scared and anxious because I know nothing really. I'm trying not to wollo in self pity. I read what their doing on tuesday so it's not to scary or as scary as I thought but the waiting game again to find out what the test says.  Just want to run away.. I am saying all this here as I figure yall get it and I dont want to Burden my family with my worry every day. Just so frozen to my home I cant seem to motivate and do anything and its actually nice outside today. Anyways just wanted to get it out. Hope yall are taking care..

  • The waiting is the worst , Tired face 1day feels like a month.

    I'm glad weather's nice where you are , rainy day in Scotland, but can't complain it has been great recently, it's an excuse for me to stay in bed bit later , have u got any holidays booked or anything x

  • Hi. The lung biopsy wasn’t that bad so please don’t worry. I was expecting the worse but was surprised & all the staff were lovely when I had mine x

  • No usually I work part time and the docs have put me on sick for the time while we figure it out. Tomorrow my daughter and ger husband are having a bar b que at theirs.  In Hartlepool it's nice.  Thought I was doing ok this morning and slowly went to blah again.. just thankful for a place to ramble..

  • Hello Frazzled

    You're allowed to be anxious.

    I got myself all wound up and went to my appointment for my biopsy with my husband and saw the consultant surgeon instead who said he’d cancelled it!

    Gave me a choice of Sabre targeted radiotherapy, watch and wait or Surgery. 

    My hubby butted in “she will have surgery.”
    Bloody hilarious really Joes never like that

    I said “hang on a minute “

    Do you have anyone going with you?  

    Funnily I told my hubby to leave me but he wouldn’t he had a feeling it was going to be cancelled. Don’t know why

  • My daughter and son n law and my 18 yr old are going. The 18 yr old lives with me still and I have a 17 yr old son at home. My oldest and her husband are doing a barbecue so we can all spend time together I'm so anxious I just want to hide at home but I'll smile and do it for my 5 kids and one son n law.  Yall talking to me has made me feel so less alone. I dont have a husband and the kids dad let them know the other day it want his problem as were not together anymore..  anyways posting here seems to help a bit.. thank you

  • Hi there

    Yes it helped me in the early days when I was trying to sort out my Ileostomy. TBH it was the only reason I joined as I needed advice from people that had same as me. Since then I’ve had masses of support going through Bowel and lung cancer this has saved me talking about it all of the time to my family. It’s hard on them isn’t it ?

    Sounds as though you have plenty of support and love from those that really care about you 

    Put it to the back of you mind, others have said it wasn’t that bad and I didn’t even get one. I’d worried for nothing. I was sent for a preop instead
