Waiting after all tests to see Consultant on the 6th Nov

Was referred to ENT due to "crusty nose" my drs words.  I had been sniffing on and off, but put this down to grandchildren whom I look after frequently.  One of them is always sniffing.  Anyway saw the ENT Consultant who said he needed to do a biopsy under general anesthetic.  I had that done on 23 Oct, MRI on the 25th and have a CT scan on the 1st November.    I felt sorry for  myself for a few days but now I don't feel anything.  I don't know if that is a usual feeling....

  • Hi yorkiegirl,

    Welcome to Cancer Chat. It's good to hear you've had all the tests done fairly quickly.

    I think any feelings in these sorts of situations should be accepted - no-one knows quite how they will react when there is this uncertainty and a wait for further information. It sounds as if perhaps you've just accepted that there's not much to be done until you get your results.

    I hope it's not too much longer to wait for you to find out more.

    Wishing you all the best,

  • Hi Ben,

    Thanks for your reply.  I feel sick every day and am actually scared to death of getting these results, but keep trying to focus on positive things.   I'm sure all the member felt the same when waiting for results.  Results next Wednesday 6th so not much longer to wait.

    Thanks again,

  • Hi yorkiegirl

    I too will get my results on the 6th of November, I had the biopsy, mamogram etc on the 23rd of October and it seems an awfully long time to wait but I am getting lots of support from hubbie and son.

    It's the last thing I think of before going to sleep at night and the first thing I think of in the morning when I wake up.

    During the day I keep myself busy but "Larry the Lump" still intrudes on my thoughts no matter how I try to push him to the back of my mind.

    I really hope your results are not as bad as you fear.

    I have just booked a holiday for September 2020 to give me a goal to aim for and I am determined to be on that plane on the 27th of September heading off to the sun.

    Much luck.

  • Hi Jo,

    Thank you for your reply.  Yes I know what you mean, choose what I am doing the "thing" still pops in my thoughts.  Days never seemed so long before these tests.  My family are very supportive, but I feel alone sometimes, if that makes any sense to you.  Dreading the surgery option which will mean partial/full removal of my nose. I can't get that out of my mind either.   But we don't know until we get the results.  Hoping it's good news, although fearing the worst too. Not booked my hols yet I'm not brave enough.

    praying for good results for both of us.  I will check back on the 6th.

    Good luck,

  • Hi Trish

    I wish you all that you wish yourself and I will be thinking of you on the 6th.

    It will be nice to hear back from you and I have everything crossed that we will both have good news.
