Waiting for results and very worried


I have had an MRI and a lesion was found -bone marrow vertebrae just had a second MEI yesterday waiting for results of lesion.  In between was sent a letter from the Sarcoma clinic -worrying times. 
husband was diagnosed with cancer just last year. 
this is a nightmare that just keeps giving.

  • Hi S-t, I'm so sorry that you and your husband are both going through this at the moment. It must be so tiring for you to have to deal with so much all at once. I'm so sorry. I know how bad it feels at the moment, that worry and anxiety, but remember you are not alone we are all here for you and will offer you support all the way. I'm new here myself and can relate to how your feeling at the moment.

    The waiting is, horrible. Time almost stops, the days are long, tiring and your mind races with the what if's and you may turn or want to turn to Dr Google. I know it's easy to do that but please don't, Google will give you all the worst things and have you even more worried! I've been there and done that so many times, it never helps, just makes everything a million times worse. 

    The best thing you can do for yourself is try to keep busy and not worry. I know it's easier said than done but if you can manage that then you will feel so much better. A busy mind is a happy and calm mind. When I'm waiting for results I like to keep busy by listening to audiobooks, organising my bears, watching a fun animation movie... Anything really.. Just helps a little too keep me occupied and no time for thinking. Hopefully you can find something for yourself.

    Remember to talk about how you're feeling. Don't bottle it up. 

    Please take care of yourself. I send best wishes to you and your husband. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for your results and that everything will be good in the end.
