Support from GP while waiting

Just wondered if anyone has received any support while waiting for results. I’ve still got another week to wait because of the holidays. I feel alone and very frightened. Just put in a repeat prescription for some anti-anxiety pills that I use from time to time but am worried to use them too often. Would like some advice but don’t know where to turn. Sorry, having a blubby day. My father in law is critically ill in hospital and I’m not sure if I’ve got enough strength to prop everyone up anymore. I’ll get on with my cleaning and stop being pathetic.
Love Julie

Dear Julie, I am sorry that you are having such a c88p time of it.I was being treated for an abcess so I wasn’t expecting to be told I had bc. You will surprise yourself with the amount of strength you have and just keep checking the boards and having a rant or whatever makes you feel better. If your results are bc then there will be plenty of support here for you.
Good Luck and God Bless. Marion.xx

Hi julie,

You have every right to blub you can do it when ever you want as you know im in same boat as you still nothing. you cant be expected to deal with it all and still keep everyone else up i know its hard the waiting is the worst bit as soon as you know one way or the other it will be better as you wil be dealing with it. the only support i have had has been from my hubby but as yours is worried about his dad it will be more difficult for you to deal with it all tell you what helps me a very good cry and then some chocolate. you are more than welcome to ask us for support we will be there for you when every you need us. hope your father in law gets better hope i have been a help i`m here for you.

Julie,
(((((((((((((((((((((((((hugs))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))
The waiting is just terrible isn’t it.You are most certainly not being pathetic!
When do you expect your results? What tests did you have? Sorry for all the questions!
You are entitled to have a blubby day,I certainly have had loads of those!
Be kind to yourself and let someone else take the strain if you can.Just ask for some space or stress free time.I just say to OH " I can’t deal with X just now" You need to be honest with others around you how you are feeling or they will still keep leaning on you.
Come on here,have a rant,cry or laugh ,it will make you feel better!
Love

Hi Julie

If it makes you feel any better, I am in the same boat as you. Had biopsy on 22nd December and my follow up appointment is 5th Jan due to holidays. We have also had my in-laws and their various problems flaring up. Both should be in hospital but refusing to go!!
So, you are not alone…I am feeling exactly as you are.
Fingers crossed for us both
Love Debby

I doubt that there’s much a gp could do right now but give you more pills. I know it’s horrible waiting, in fact it will be a year since I was diagnosed soon and I still think the waiting was the worst bit. You can cope with it once the wheels start turning so my sympathies that you’re having so much to deal with at once. If I were you I’d just hold on to your hubby and not let go, he could probably do with that too under the circumstances.

Loads of love to you (and you Debby)

The cold and darkness of winter really doesn’t help either does it. Still time will pass and spring follows winter, and treatment or relief follows the waiting…

Sorry… don’t know where that bit of profoundness came from… can’t have been me :wink:

Thanks so much everyone. It really helps not to feel so alone. I hope everyone else is put out of their misery soon.

Hi Julie, i know how you feel waiting for results whilst father in law ill. i found my lump whilst father in law was dying in hospital with lung cancer. I couldnt tell anyone till the funeral was over, and felt awful putting my family on the “cancer journey” again, but there are people who will support YOU, which i feel is important. Fingers crossed for a good result!
