I have had textbook symptoms of pancreatic cancer for just over a month and been trying to get diagnosis and waiting results and no plan yet or help. I’m worried going to waste away before even get results as am so tired so mustn't be absorbing any nutrients. I have a young child and need time to prepare him. I’m sorry this isn’t a positive post I’m scared and need someone to reply who might understand. I’ve been through blood tests, an endoscopy and several GP appointments and had to push a private GP to book me a CT Scan and after all this I’m worried I don’t have much time! I know need to try to enjoy what time I have left with my son and trying to do that but the anxiety is overwhelming and I can’t even tell him why Mummy is different. Once it’s obvious it’s there will they move quickly if I give my NHS doctor the CT results?
Hi Amma
My wife's situation was a bit the opposite of yours in that the doctors were so convinced she had cancer that they dismissed things that did not match as a red herring. Until she collapsed in the GP surgery and when they operated they discovered she had pyometra and her womb had ruptured and she had sepsis.
The sense of anxiety and not knowing is very hard and many of here will recognise how difficult this time is.
