Hi Ma80, this shows exactly why we advise people not to Google. Google does not know better than your oncology team. By googling you’re opening yourself to out of date, inapplicable and downright false information. None of these options will help you. I’m not at all surprised that you’ve panicked yourself - your choice now is whether you continue to believe junk, self sabotage and undermine your ability to get through this well.  We are all living breathing evidence that it’s possible to get through this and out the other side. And we didn’t do that by reading junk, we did that by listening to each other, taking support from each other and trusting in our brilliant medical teams.

In other news, what absolutely brilliant news about your predicted stage - that, along with your predicted grade - is the best news any of us could wish for, and I’m really chuffed for you. 

Thank you I am so very relieved I just cant shake the fear im.trying but been whirlwind 3 wks

You don’t need to try to shake the fear, but you can choose to make wise choices that won’t feed it further and that way it will diminish on its own. 

I know exactly how you feel, these past 6 weeks or so for me have been horrendous - you only need to read my posts to see that - every time I get positive news, I’m okay for a while, and then start catastrophising. I believe it’s a natural reaction but it’s also debilitating. 

I too am obsessively googling, and all it does is send me into a tailspin - why do we humans like to torture ourselves?

I just wanted to let you know that you’re not alone panicking after positive news - I’m really pleased to read about your results - I think both of us would be best placed to keep focused!

I have a scientific background and am pretty good at separating out the rubbish in google. But since they started presenting you with information derived by AI first that task has become much harder. I cant stress enough  just how poor AI "summaries" can be. If you must google at least close your eyes to anything generated by AI as it's misleading and inaccurate.
