I have CLL cancer since 2017 but am now awaiting diagnosis of bowel cancer. I am 75 and feeling very anxious and tearful. I am fearful of the effects of any treatment and the loss of my everyday life.
I am so sorry you are going through this stressful time awaiting a bowel cancer diagnosis and having to go through this when you have been fighting CLL since 2017. It is normal to be fearful of the effects of treatment and the impact it might have on your every day life but there is still a lot of unknown at the moment and this uncertainty will make you feel even more anxious. You will hopefully feel better once you know exactly what the diagnosis is and the treatment plan that is in place for you and I hope that you will get some clarity soon and that you will know what to expect. As many of our members who've been in a similar place before will tell you, the not knowing is often the hardest thing and we have these helpful tips to help you cope while waiting for important news.
I am keeping everything crossed for you that you get a diagnosis very soon and that treatment can be effective with no significant side effects.
