Stress!!!

Hi all,
Feeling a bit fragile today! Have 4 1/2 year check-up tomorrow morning and am also waiting for barium enema results. Don’t know how much more stress I can take at the moment. Bowel trouble may not be sinister but it’s the first thing we think of isn’t it? Feel a bit weepy all the time, what a wimp I’m being but just can’t help it today. Sorry, just wanted a little moan I think. So tired of keeping a stiff upper lip so as not to worry OH.
Love Laraine xx

Know how you feel! Last November I had an abnormal result and had to have a colonoscopy. I was scared rigid! Like you say once BC has taken at bite at you, it is NORMAL to be concerned about every twinge. Other people might think we are nuts to be concerned about minor symptoms but they haven’t been in our shoes. I’ll keep everything crossed for you… even though that might make walking difficult!

Hi Larraine, you have every right to a bit of a moan, and it can be stressful always being ‘brave’. I’m sure your OH is suffering in silence too. It’s like having a white/pink/blue (sorry I can never remember the right colour) in the room!! It might be less stressful just to chat to your OH about it. Sending you a big hug, and have my fingers crossed for you. Donna xxx

Thanks Alex and Donna
Don’t know what I’d do without these forums, just knowing someone’s there who understands what it’s like helps so much.

Just back from annual check-up. Apparently there’s a lymph node in my armpit that they’re concerned about. Have to have an ultrasound. Still don’t have results from barium enema. Gutted! xx

we always think the worst dont we, the lymph node could quite easily be nothing more than an infection somewhere, keep ya chin up, keep thinking possitive thoughts, try and do something 2 take your mind off it for a while fingers crossed 4 u xxxx

If its any help i had a barium and the results meant they wanted to do the camera and it still came back all clear, so easier said than done try not to worry.
