Sh!tting myself

It is unlikely to be cancer. Try and remain calm until you get a proper diagnosis. Almost everyone on these forums has had cancer and many of us are still here. There are lots of treatments, it’s not a death sentence 

You've been through a lot the past few weeks Rach_E. I'm not surprised you feel the way you do. How long do you have to wait for your appointment? I find these letters full of cryptic information you get very unhelpful. Sometimes you have no idea what you're even going into hospital for! Hope you manage to have a peaceful day and can do something nice to take your mind off it.

My appointment is on Thursday, I got a text from them saying appointment with trauma and orthopaedics and then the letter came yesterday and it says sarcoma clinic unless the doctor does both.  I know the type of womb cancer I have is carcinosarcoma but it’s not actually a sarcoma.  Everyone that has felt the lump says fatty lump and gp has said if it wasn’t for my history he would have left it but now I’m worried.  I have just got myself in an ok place with the cancer I have I don’t think I can do it all over again.

You've not got long to wait Rach_E. The waiting and not knowing is so stressful but I wouldn't go on the appointment letter. I doubt it's very detailed or accurate and probably just an abbreviated code. Everything will become clear on Thurs. Let us know how you get on x
