Waiting for results

Fruppa
Offline

Hi 

just wanted to introduce myself 

I’ve recently undergone bowel cancer screening, my colonoscopy has revealed area of concern.  I’m now fast reacted to have a ct scan tomorrow and my biopsy results and scan results will be discussed at a MDT meeting on Wednesday.

Everything is moving at 100 miles an hour and I’m trying my best not to be consumed with worry  unfortunately I’m not doing too well.  I literally can’t switch off , sleep is bad and I’m an anxious mess ! Probably normal reaction that everyone in my position has gone through but any tips to help me rationally go with this and calm down would be appreciated x

Thanks

  • Hello Fruppa,

    I hope the CT scan went ok yesterday and discussions have help clear up any concerns or questions you might have. When you’re worried that you may have cancer, it can be natural to overthink or think the worst, but this can end up increasing anxiety rather than making you feel better. It can be a nerve-wracking time waiting for results, but it's important to focus on your wellbeing and we have some advice around coping with waiting for news on our website which might help.

    I hope this is useful and all the best for your meeting tomorrow,
