As I noticed this is your first post with us and that it hasn't got a reply yet I thought I might come by to say hello and welcome you to Cancer Chat, Beats.

If you read through the forum, you will see that many people echo what you're feeling right now - the waiting game can be the hardest. But it's important to remember that you've done everything important when you decided to go for that biopsy so do try to take your mind out of things, if at all possible. Stress rarely helps in these cases.

Hopefully, your medical team will be phoning in soon and with good news. Until then, hang in there and remember we're always here if you need a chat.

Best wishes,

Sorry to hear you're going through this.

im currently waiting for results on a mole whxih I think they atf expecting to be cancer.

this is sadly my second cancer scare in the space of 6 months so absolutely beside myself with worry, can't eat or sleep and just trying to get through each day but it really is horrific.

hiw long do you have to wait? They had said around 3 weeks to me but not actually said how I get my results.

I guess we need to try and keep busy in the meantime and not allow our minds to wander. 
hope you get some good news 

Hi Casey123,

I'm sorry you are going through this too, it is so difficult.

They said a few weeks? And that I would recieve a phone call so as you can imagine I am jumping everytime it rings. I am also driving myself mad googeling all the time and reading the worst case scenarios. Not helpful I know.

I really hope you recieve some good news and it comes soon. Please keep in touch if you need someone to vent too ️ ️ lots of love

Me too :(

I'm getting my stitches removed on the 29th so back at hospital then. They've given me a follow up app for the 22nd.

My mind is in over drive and not sleeping or enjoying Christmas x how are you managing? 

Hi, 

At least you have a plan for follow up and some dates to work towards. I feel in limbo to be honest and wasn't given any aftercare advice etc either. 

I am just so distracted and having really severe anxiety about it, I go to sleep anxious and wake up sick to my stomach. I know you will feel exactly the same it's good to be able to talk to someone in the same boat... No I haven't enjoyed much of Christmas either. 

Let me know how you get on

My follow up app came through Xmas Eve, so you'll prob get something through in next week or so I recon. 
I was worried the fact I'd gotten a follow up app was bad news, but they told me a follow up app was standard regardless of good or bad news.

It's horrific isn't it. I'm struggling to eat as got that awful sicky nervous anxiety feeling all the time in my stomach. Even when I manage to get some sleep I dream about cancer and wake up in a panic :(. 
I'm grieving for my sister too who passed away from breast cancer so feel like my life is just consumed with bad news and fear.

I will be thinking of you and really hoping you get some good news x try and keep busy. I'm going to try and watch a film. 

do you have support at home? 

Hi Casey123, 

I just wanted to update you. My result came through today as normal... A huge sigh of relief. I want to thank you for taking the time to talk to me when I was so frightened. I hope you recieve good news on the 22nd I will be think about you. If you need someone to talk to please don't hesitate to send me a message. 

Lots of love ️

Hello

that's amazing news, I am so so pleased you got good news. What an agonising wait for us Both and thank you for your all your support. I felt so alone and grieving for my sister too, so the people on here helps me going :).  So thank you. 

I actually got my results through today as they rang yesterday with a cancellation:). My results said its a spitz neavu which is a rare type of mole, which looks dodgy, but it's benign. Wow what a relief. The consultant did say he was expecting it to come back as melanoma from its appearance, so I am so unbelievably releaved and feeling very lucky. As the outcome could of been very different. 

all this stress has make me anxious about my other moles and obsessing over them (I have lots). So I need to stop now, as think it's just made me paranoid about it all. So I'm trying to now allow myself to look at my moles, more than once a month as I've been scrutinising them daily. Silly really :(  

You take care and stay safe xx

Hi Casey :happy:

I am delighted that you recieved good news too...and yes it is a tremendous relief. I know how difficult it is when you are grieving and im sorry about your sister. I think when you have lost a loved one too cancer it can cause alot of health anxiety, I defo had it after my dad passed away from stomach cancer.

The checking your moles I am sure will calm down its normal for the anxiety to hang about for awhile I was the exact same. So thankfull we both had some good news, I hope this year is a kinder one.

Lots of love xx

Aww thank you.

So sorry to hear about your dad :( yes I think it does make our anxiety worse and the more I look at my moles, I start thinking they are all dodgy ha. So my husband has told me to stop it ;).

Yes we are incredibly lucky aren't we. I'm going to have a take away and glass of fine tonight.

take care xx
