Hello,
I saw my GP this morning. Discovered a large lump yesterday which I was sure was a prolapse. It isn’t. She says it might be a cyst but put me on fast track cancer referral.
i have had so many weird blood tests recently and am already waiting for scans of my liver, spleen and kidneys. My imagination is all over the place now wondering what they’re going to find.
Life was just about to take a more positive turn for me in lots of ways and now I’m scared I’ve left all of it too late. And scared for my daughter.
Just hoping someone can help me get a bit of perspective on things.
thank you
Hi Josey1968 and welcome to our group.
I can feel the worry and fear in your words and believe me, I can empathise with that!
Our mInds rush away with all sorts of thoughts, but things are rarely as bad as we think they might be. You’re on a fast track referral, and that doesn’t mean it’s cancer- it just means that you will be seen sooner. That’s honestly a positive as it means you'll get answers quicker.
The waiting is a horrible time for us all, but I’d recommend taking a day at a time, and literally focusing on that. You don’t have any facts yet, so don’t imagine them…my philosophy was "it’s not cancer till they say it is”.
I hope you’ll come back and let us know how you get on, and if you are unfortunate enough to get a cancer diagnosis there is support for you here in the community.
