Hi Parmz,

I think it is universally accepted that waiting for tests and their results are one of the worst parts of having cancer. The only thing that helped me was to keep as busy as I could but even so you just cant stop the thoughts from coming so I know what you are going through. I have always kept busy but I found great difficulty in concentrating, even when reading a good book.

Hope you get good news and that it soon comes then hopefully you will be able to get your life back on track. Regards Brian

Hi Parmz,

As woodworm says waiting is a very difficult time. I waited 2 months between diagnosis and treatment for different scan results and it was a deeply truamatic time.   I guess it depends on who you are but I researched "anti - cancer" diets and tried out different eating patterns whilst waiting- whether it helps or not pysically I don't know but it certainly made me feel like I could gain some control of my body and not just be sitting around waiting for the hours/days/weeks to tick by.  I also researched the after-life (better to be prepared I thought) & got some "good" trashy novels - you know the ones you don't have to concentrate on too much and lost myself in them.

However you fill your time, good luck and very very good luck with the scan results.

Hiya Parmz

I know Sam feels the same way as you do now when waiting for results, I do too but must be different as it isn't me going through it. I know it doesn't help much but it is normal to feel the way you do. Try and surround yourself with supportive friends and family, I hope you do tell those close to you how you feel? On the other hand maybe join a brain tumour support group? I know of a few if you need some details. When are you due results?

All the best x

Hi Everyone

Thank you for all your kind messages of support lets keep on going then and I'll try to forget the whole waiting game hope everyone is doing well xxxx

Thanks Brian, So i was at the hospital last week, and they told me no surgery as it isn't safe just have to carry on with chemo for now, start again on the 22nd Nov, and see how i go, I'm getting a 2nd opinion from a doctor at Harley Street to see if he can help me. I'm happy to report I'm back at work and carrying on as normal is helping a lot, at least my days are going by quick

Thanks Janojan, I have to have more chemo starting on 22nd Nov, I'm back at work and it's great work have been amazing, plus it helps time go by so much faster

KInd Regards
