  • Hi mastermariner,

    Welcome to Cancer Chat. I'm sorry to hear of everything you've been through when you were younger and recently, it sounds like a lot to deal with.

    There will be many others here who understand the difficulty of waiting for results - it's never easy and the uncertainty can be difficult. Hopefully you have been given an idea of how long to expect to wait. If it goes beyond that time, you can always call the hospital to check.

    Try to keep busy while you wait and take things a day at a time, and I hope you're able to find out more soon.

    Wishing you all the best,

    Ben
