Hi Denise, I'm here, pet. Yes, it's really scary playing the waiting game. There's nothing patient about being patient, is there? It took 12 days to get my results back, I had biopsies done on the breast and lymph nodes at my one-stop-shop. I went in with a lump, and three hours later I had an appointment to see a consultant having been told it could be cancer. They can't say for sure until the path results are back, so at the moment it's a 50% chance for you that it isn't. So you need to play the waiting game, because after the results come back there is a meeting to plan a treatment pathway(s) for you. That's another week. So, what you do is keep yourself busy. Doesn't matter how trivial it is, just take a deep breath, know there are 1000's out there like you, and hang in. I know the nights are the worst. The gloomy goblins come out, but you can talk to us here, you can phone the nurses here, and you can start a diary of your journey. Write down how you feel, and what you want to happen, and to do, and what you WILL do when this journey is over.
My journey is continuing. My tumour is out, all my tests are done, and I'm starting chemo Thursday. When it's finished I'm having the biggest Cick the Crap out of Cancer party on gods green earth. BC is so very very treatable, and if that is what you've got , then I'll help you plan your CCC party too. 🎉🍷🍾🎁🍰. The very best wishes for a good outcome. X
