Waiting is torture - was diagnosed with cancer 3 weeks ago but don't know where yet

Hi very new to all this.   Just had a diagnosis 3 weeks ago of cancer but no idea where as yet ... lungs stomach thyroid as possibilities.  The waiting is absolutely torture and not knowing when someone will get back to you after tests is mentally draining xx

  • Hi Cjanew my cancer is not the same as your possibilities. But from my experience the waiting on results, treatment plans is the worst. Once you have results, plans and start treatment I'm not saying it gets easier but you feel like you have some sort of control. I don't know  your situation but I found keeping  busy helped in my case exercise but just anything you enjoy that you can get lost in to keep your mind occupied with something else even if it's just for little while it helps. Sending hugs. Xx
