Hello

I'm new to all this.

Went to the Dr. Was told I had thrush and sent away with a prescription. Got a call 5 hours later. The Dr said I've had a think and I think it's cancer in sending an urgent referral.

I have seen gyne on Tuesday 17th. I rang to find out what the appointment would be so I could prepare...yes I'm autistic and ADHD so needed to know what to expect. Told just a consultation.

It wasn't!

Biopsy done and I meltdown.

It's 2 days later and I think I have scratched at my stitches in my sleep. Now I'm even more scared than I was before.

I don't know what to do with myself.

I don't know how to tell my kids.

Waiting is such a struggle in general life. This is a nightmare.

Thank you for getting this far

Hello Shel, what a worrying time for you, your GP should never have told you that he thought it was cancer but just referred you for tests. As for you thinking you have scratched your stitches try to keep the area clean with tepid water and pat dry. If you are worried then call your GP or hospital and they should be able to help. I won’t tell you not to worry as I know it is scary. I hope you soon get your results. Please let us know how you get on. We will be here whenever you need a chat.

Thank you for your reply. It's so awful, I don't know how anyone does it.

I went to the GP, they gave me some numbing gel and checked it out. And then listened to me cry.

Hi Shelly, so glad you went to your GP and he checked you out. Crying is a good release, I cried buckets when I was diagnosed 2 years ago, and still have weepy moments. Believe me it is better than bottling it up. Sending hugs x
