VIN 3 WLE .

I had my operation on 3rd June 2025. I seem to be healing ok. Slight discomfort and discharge, but bearable . I believe it takes a while until you feel some normality in your vulva .

My worry is ,I am still waiting on my biopsy results, should of had them on 27th June . Phoned gyocologist, not back yet , phone again 3rd July . Still not back - I have to wait until 10th July , where they will phone me. 

My head is full of anxiety, Iam know hearing negative sentences, which I feel difficult to control .

Iam taking antidepressants for this ( just started on them ) hopefully they will be help , but is there any groups where you can chat , about how to cope mentally with your anxiety and panic , while you wait for your results .

I'm so anxious, with all this waiting Disappointed I worried I am going to loose my sanity all together Sob

    I had my op on the 2/8/22 and did not get my results back until the 26/9/22.  I was full of anxiety but was helped by a local Cancer Charity, who offered reflexology and I found this was a great help.  Also I was referred to a therapist at the Bart Health Trust who offer holistic treatments and I had Rekki which was an amazing experience.  This definately helped me cope.  Does your hospital have something like this?  Your Macmillan nurse should be able to find out this for you as they referred me. Your nurse might also be able to refer you to a counsellor.  If you talk to a Macmillan nurse on this site and I sure that they would be able to help you with finding groups that  could help you with your anxiety.  Hope you get that phone call on the 10th.  There are always people on this site that you can chat to.
