  • Hi Mich

    I have stage 4b ovarian cancer and even now I still get really anxious, tearful about every scan, and every consultant review. On one occasion when they told me my cancer was stable I couldn't take it in, they had to also say, that's positive news. I suppose my point is , it is ok to feel anxious and worried. Reaching out to others for support is really brave, so well done for sharing your feelings. We often  think that there is the best possible news and the worse news ever, but there are so many levels of news in between. I hope all goes well with the consultant and will be thinking about you 

    Best wishes 

  • It's the fact that only had scan last thursday he had meeting Tuesday about the findings and wants to see me face to face I already know there is something as went to a& e Tuesday as dr thought I had something wrong with gallbladder  but that is clear and the consultant there said there is something xx

  • Hi Mich 

    I'm lucky that my partner comes with me for support. Do you have someone who goes with you? I find that even with someone there it's still really difficult  as noone else can hear your news for you!  I have found that the team have been really good at all stages and I hope you have a good rapport with your consultant and team. Good communication can really help. 

    I have a little bit of cancer now spread to my liver too, so that's another thing but the team still come up with choice and treatments for me..

    it may be that this is not cancer related, could be side effects or anything. Face to face means that they want to make sure you understand something (maybe they want to prescribe you something and want to check your consent) or to check you are ok, it's not necessarily to give you the worse news ever. I'm not going to say, keep positive because that's not always helpful to hear, but try to keep level and grounded. 

    Best of luck 

    1. Hi yes my husband too comes with have not had treatment since June this year as was or am ned but when diagnosed stage 4b xx
  • Glad your husband goes with you. I'll be thinking about you both.

    I am getting the results of my scan Wednesday, and I have already written myself off! So I am a fine one to talk, I get ever.so anxious. I am currently on immunotherapy and this scan will hopefully tell me that it's doing something. 

    Best of luck Hugging
