Hi 

 

I am new to this site and feel I could do with some support 

about 10 weeks ago I suddenly became constipated and thought diet etc. But wouldn’t go away so went to doctor who prescribed some medication to help but wanted a full blood count as I was feeling very tired like having flu but not got  o then got results back and low in iron and cos could work out why she ask me to do a poo screening and took more blood which ca125 came positive and she order scan but then the poo sample came back with blood in which never notice any  

 

so sent me urgent for camera down and up that when I saw the big nasty looking thing which doctors ordered forget test to see how treat so had dither bloods ct scan and MRI now have to wait for results

    I know it’s so difficult, but just try and stay calm. If it’s reading a book, doing ten mins of exercise, or cooking etc. Do anything to take your mind of it. I’m awaiting a appt on Monday for a lump in breast, and I’m terrified. I’m just trying to think of it as, no matter how much I stress or worry, it won’t change the outcome. So I’m just trying my very best to be calm. Your not alone. 

  • Welcome to the forum Ajc19 although I'm sorry for the reason you've joined us. 

    Waiting for results can be scary and rather tough to deal with but I want to assure you that you're not alone in this as many of our members have been through this process so will completely understand the range of thoughts and emotions you may be having at the moment and I'm sure some of them will be along soon to offer their support and advice.

    I noticed you mentioned that you self harmed and I'm sorry that this situation has led to you doing this. I know it's difficult but I hope this information I've found online will help you to resist the urge of doing this and help you get back some sense of control. Do your family and friends know what's going on or how you're feeling at the moment? If you haven't done so already, maybe you could try to open up and confide in someone you trust as I have no doubt that they will want to do all that they can to help. If you don't feel like you can talk to them about this then the Samaritans are just a phone call away on 116 123. Their phone lines are open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week so you can talk to them anytime you feel things are getting a bit too much. Also, if you are finding the pain you're experiencing in your legs unmanageable then do think about getting in touch with the NHS on their 111 number to get some advice.

    Try to take things a day at a time if you can and remember that you are not alone.

    Kind regards,
