Biopsy 5cm

Hi ,I'm Jackie ,58, I'm new to this,I just had two biopsies done on a right side lump and 4nodules  I have 11more days till I see the Dr for results they said things like as least you came and we can take it from here . I'm weirdly calm at the mo tho can't sleep for the what is,this is my husband had a major op for bowel cancer in June ,he's was very sick for weeks he terrified. I've got it me I'm resigned to them saying yes is that weird I suffer from anxiety and a fair few other conditions I worry I won't be strong enough  I saw what the treatment does when my brother had leukemia 

  • Hi Jackie and a warm welcome to our forum, 

    I can imagine this is a really anxious time for you as you are waiting for biopsy results - 11 days to wait can feel really long and it's good that you are getting this checked thoroughly and properly. I am so sorry to hear that this is affecting your sleep - if you see that you are really struggling to sleep in the next few days, do talk to your GP about it and explain the situation and I am sure that they will be happy to help. I hope that your husband has recovered well from his major operation in June and I can imagine you are currently reliving the stress and anxiety of what he himself went through but try if you can not to anticipate what it might be until you get your full results and resist the urge to look things up on Google as it will only make you feel more anxious and will never give accurate answers. Try and find coping strategies to help you get through the coming days - have a look at these helpful tips  to help cope while waiting for important news. 

    Hopefully other members who have been through something similar will come along shortly and share their experience with you. I am keeping everything crossed for you that it all turns out to be nothing of concern. 

    Best wishes,
