I have recently been diagnosed with breast and liver cancer. Waiting to meet the Oncologist and feeling as if I am in no man's land. Feeling very scared .
Welcome to Cancer Chat. I can imagine this must be incredibly tough - it's a feeling many on here will be able to relate to, knowing that it's never easy when waiting for appointments or to find out more.
I'm not sure when your appointment is but I hope it's not long to wait. Ahead of that, it might be helpful to write down any questions or worries you have, to help you be able to talk everything through when you have your appointment.
Apart from that, some say it helps to try to keep busy, and to take things a day at a time while waiting - although this can be easier said than done sometimes.
We're always here for support when you need it, and hopefully you'll get more replies to your post soon.
Hi I empathise with you and wish you all the best. I've also just been recently diagnosed with prostate cancer, I was shocked, overwhelmed, feeling unsettled, I'm also awaiting the oncologist, I'm here if you'd like a, chat.
Thank you Ben, I have a date to see the Oncologist it is this coming Monday. Due to being lost in the system for nearly two years every thing is being pushed forward at speed. Hopefully treatment will begin quickly although now it is palliative care and treatment as it has spread to far xxx
Thank you both, my appointment is for this coming Monday, thinking of you Onthekwai. It is those times when everyone is asleep and I just lay thinking of scenario's and outcomes and how to tell the girls. Ups and downs but must stay positive xx
