Hi there, I've recently been told from the results of a biopsy that I have a secondary, had PETct scan this week so still waiting results of that!
It's the waiting, wondering & uncertainty that is getting to me....... I'm not alone on this unknown journey I'm sure! Hearing others in similar situations might help please? thanks in advance.
It's the uncertainty that's the worse! Anyway will update when I know anymore. Gentle hugs to all
Hi Angela
I know it’s so tough to get your head around it I was so low , Iam not bad now but it’s because of the anti depressants, I dread to think how I would feel without those , never takin them in my life either . Sorry to hear about your husband , was it after that you got diagnosed ? I swear it was stress that gave me cancer but they say no it can’t , mine must be slow grown too because I was actually attending orthopaedics for two years with pain he said it was wear and tear but it turned out to be cancer !
they said mine is Adenocarcinoma! No idea how they know that , isn’t this page awful for typing on I can hardly see the words
Iam in Scotland
love
Margaret
Hi not sure if Iam replying to you as Iam just adding reply’s in this post , Iam finding this page very difficult to navigate and they type is so small xx
Hi,
Yes thank you I am getting your posts. Yes it was after my husband died that I was diagnosed. I feel sure the shock has something to do with this. My husband had not been ill in fact we had been out for a family meal the night he died. Post mortem showed sudden cardiac arrest although he didn’t have heart problems.
I was so stressed at that time and like you for the first time ever went on to anti depressants. I’m thinking I may ask if I can up the dose as I’m having very low days. I just wish they could find a primary x
Sorry for your loss I too had a lot of stress prior to the diagnosis, ask your doctor if you can increase the dose I had to do that to get me out of the black hole it has helped me , I feel the same about the primary but Iam just holding on to what the oncologists said which is that my body may have killed it !
Whatever cancer throws your way, we’re right there with you.
