Myeloma - really struggling with the wait for my results. Feels like my life is on hold

I am not really sure how I should start.  My life has been completely turned upside down.  I am currently awaiting the results for myeloma.  A mass was accidently found in the sacral ala in my right hip with an abdominal mass with lesions on my spine and adrenal gIands.  I  have had further CT and MRI`s - had more blood drained that I actually thought was humanly possibly.  But now I wait.  It is the waiting that is destroying me.  When I have a definitive diagnosis, I can move on, but I just seem to be stuck in a cycle of anger, denial, tears and guilt.  I have a 13 year old daughter.  

i joined this forum to try and get some prospective and to share.  I feel like the information that I have will make my brain explode.  I can`t really talk to anyone until I have some answers.  The concept of helplessness is consuming me and making me drown.

  • Hi Medimati,

    Welcome to Cancer Chat. I'm sorry to hear of your situation - what you describe is something I'm sure many people here will understand and will have experienced. The waiting can be really difficult. As you say, once you know more it should help in terms of knowing what the next steps will be.

    I'm glad you found the forum and I hope it can be useful for you. Writing things down and speaking to others can be really helpful.

    I hope you hear more soon. Try to keep busy while you wait, and take things a day at a time.

    Wishing you all the best,

    Ben
