Dear all new to the forum and have found your posts really helpful. I am waiting for my hospital appt next Tuesday. It,s been a long wait nearly 5 weeks since seeing Gp. GOing thru every emotion and trying to keep focused. fIne when I!m at work but not so easy at home.It’s silly things like my summer holiday .We have our flights booked but i am delaying sorting accommodation just in case. rIdiculous to consider a holiday but it is that thought of this time next week everything could be different. ALso not sure wheto tell tell friends family or wait wait? What are your thoughts Thanks Karen

Hi Karen, one step at a time, baby steps even. There is no point worrying others in my opinion until you know what you are dealing with. Also they will be concerned for you and asking questions that you won’t have the information to answer. Also sometimes loved ones and friends really say the wrong things thinking they are trying to help. My advice would be wait its nearly tuesday. Also a few days is no difference in sorting out your holiday. I hope it’s good news for you and you can get back into your life without anyone knowing the nightmare of worry you have been going through x

Thanks Carrie
kind of feel that myself.I think if I don’t know anything rather just worry myself Than everyone else - actually dont know what I’d say anyway.Seems so unreal all this worry under the surface but on the outside ,life going on as normal!!!(apart from my holiday!!!)
THanks again
Karen

Hi Karen
i just wanted to wish you luck for your clinic appointment. I had mine and get my results Thursday, just hang in there and keep yourself busy is all I can suggest really!
In regards to telling people, I decided to tell close family as I knew they would be upset if a bombshell is dropped on results day. I think it’s an individual decision and only you can know who’s those closest to you will react, plus if you need support close by they are there to help you through this difficult time.

Thinking of you and sending positive thoughts
