Find it very difficult today still waiting on appointment
Hi Hatfield,
It is normal to find the waiting really hard and I know that most ladies on here will remember that feeling. I think also the time of year doesn't help. Do give the Support Line a call and chat it through if you think it would help.
I remember several times during my cancer journey where I was waiting for different results/appointments and I know how hard it is to focus on much else. The only thing I found helped was talking to someone and also I suppose trying to keep some sort of routine going. I think also it is hard when you don't know for sure when the results or appointment will come through and there seems a big variation on here.
Try to focus on the next couple of days and spending time with people around you and also sometimes I found going out for a walk to clear my head would help. The worst thing was to stay at home and think.
