Finding it hard - MRI today - PET CT scan Tuesday

Ive posted before. Im really struggling mentally. After  positive biopsy for cervical cancer 4cm mass in mid October , ive just had Pet CT scan and MRI this week. Keep having negative dark thoughts  inking the worst. Im 65 and this all started with a postmenopausal bleed.in October. Ive always had regular smears , my last one being 2022 which was ok, then told it wouldn't have anymore because o my age. My gp said they dont test for abnormal cells but for hpv, which she said i tested low for. I  went for a pelvic mri, during the scan the radiographer placed another magnetic device higher up  so now im thinking did he see a spread and that's why he went higher, irrational thoughts. One minute im sending positive thoughts out, the next im thinking the worst. Sorry to waffle. Im just finding this so hard, im feelimg dread and gone off eating with the anxiety. Having a "woe is me day". I know everyone is also experiencing this. My thoughts are with you too   x

  • No apology ever required Lesley5, waffle away and you’re allowed to have a ‘woe is me’ day…I’m on my second time with breast cancer, with node in lung…I’m part way through all the tests and appts and just want to ‘get on with’ the treatment…I had a bit of a ‘woe is me’ morning today…

    I completely understand the swing between being optimistic and fatalistic…it’s only natural in anyone’s position with a cancer diagnosis…the swingometer is huge! 
    as you say, thoughts are with everyone having to face into this, or care for a loved one…big hug to you x

  • Thank you so much for replying, i have my young grandchildren staying over for a couple of nights, they are a welcome distraction. The waves still come, but just keep trying. Hugs to you too , take care x
