Anyone else waiting for results? I am waiting for follow ons after RT for a local recurrence in vagina after womb cancer and biopsy results for a Vin.. details on profile . Don't know if no news is good news or is all the emphasis on Covid.? I chased the biopsy and may have results by 06/5.. The waiting is in some ways worse than the cancer. The not knowing.
Hi and a very warm welcome to the online community
I'm not waiting for results but I know how horrible it is. It sounds like you shouldn't have too much longer to wait and, in the meantime, you need to find ways of distracting yourself.
We all have different ways of distracting ourselves and you need to find one that works best for you. I'd normally say things like meet up with friends or indulge in your hobbies but I realise that's not quite as easy at the moment with social distancing. However, you can still make yourself a cup of coffee or grab a glass of wine and sit down to talk to friends via Skype, Facetime, etc.
Lots of people use mindfulness apps and clicking here will take you to the NHS page on mental health apps with links to ones they recommend, some of which are free. You might also benefit from looking at this information on how to ease your worry when waiting for tests and results.
Do come back and let us know the results of your biopsy.
Thank you for your advice and welcome . I received the results for the vulva biopsy yesterday . It is a VIN1 . The mildest form apparently. It may never do anything. So very relieved .I have to go for a checkup in 6 months. Just the RT after check to wait on now . Hopefully it may be soon due to the NHS resuming some of the 'normal' services which is good news for all of us.
That's great news !
I hope you have something appropriate - cake and prosecco spring to mind - so that you can have a little celebration
Look after yourself
