hello all and thanks for all the good wishes, i went to get my results yesterday,and the oncologist said there was concern with the changes of the liver spots,but they cannot tell me just what is going on as yet as they are going to all get togather and look again at all the recent tests etc and scans i have just had done ,it could be a new secondary,or original cancer that is suddenly growing,but she cant be sure just what it is as yet, tshe said dont worry !!! what ive got to wait another 2 weeks before i go back and she says dont worry . grrr!! why do they do this to us ,as if im not going to worry enough about what thibgs are going to be found .anyway are hands are tied untill i know just what im facing .lates hope they are just being cautious intill it all becomes clearer. so back to nail biting again ! lynn x
It’s the worst, isn’t it, the waiting? There’s nothing to be done, no hurdles to be faced and overcome, no feeling of personal achievement however thin. My heart goes out to you.
I know this sounds corny, but since being diagnosed 2 months ago I’ve taken up three new hobbies that are totally disconnected from ‘LBC’ (life before cancer). I’m writing a novel that has nothing to do with sickness; I’ve started a massive patchwork quilt based on a photograph of sunrise over the Russian archipelago from the terrace at the front of our rougho Finnish summer cottage (for the cottage guest room bed as I suspect it is going to be too ugly for ours) but it has involved lots of browsing fabric shops for bits of material and cutting out shapes and generally making a helluva mess; and I bought a bicycle on Saturday. First I’ve had in years and years - and then rode it home 10 k from the shop. Nearly died going up the hills (a swift clean way to go) & couldn’t sit comfortably all day Sunday. Wide seat, wide rear, I thought I was on a winner but the rear was clearly too wide for the seat. Son tells me the wide rear will toughen up as I stop weighing so much. Muchas gracias boyo. Plus I chose to give up academic work for the duration - can’t face ‘learned texts’ that have nothing to do with real life at all - and to give the garden a bit of a miss this year. Just for the variety.
It may all be artificial but it helps me feel that I have had some part in choosing a change in my life’s direction. It helps hugely to distract me from the waiting. It really does.
Bestest wishes to you lynn x
Hi Lynn,
sorry to hear your news wasn’t as hoped. I do feel for you massively, having to play the waiting game once again.
Thinking of you and I’ve got my fingers and toes crossed for you. I get my results on weds, currently working on the philosophy that no news is good news!
Take care,
Kelly

Hi Lynn
Hope everything goes ok,
luv Mel x
Yeah Lynn
Do hope it goes ok, once Dx with this they should provide us with very very long nails and throw in a box of tranquilisers, also some boxing gloves to hit people who say ‘don’t worry’ or ‘try not to worry’ or make us wait for tests and results.
