Welcome to Cancer Chat, HHutch

I’m sorry to hear how frightened and anxious you’re feeling right now. Getting results like that, together with everything happening so quickly would leave anyone’s mind racing.

It’s good that your doctors are being thorough and moving things along even though the waiting and not knowing can feel unbearable. Many people here have shared how stressful this part can be, and how easy it is for thoughts to jump to the worst possibilities. You’re certainly not alone in feeling that way.

Hopefully, others who’ve been through similar tests will come along soon to share how things went for them, as chatting with those who can relate does seem to help. But for now, try to take things one step at a time and be gentle with yourself - you’re doing your best in a difficult situation.

Best wishes,
