Hi Debbie,

Welcome to this great forum but sorry to hear the reason why you joined. I am no medical person but it's been my experiance that in most cases, the NHS will not start treatment until they have a full picture of the disease. I know it is very frustrating and I do undestand how you feel.

Everyone agrees, waiting is one of the worst things as our minds always work overtime and we tend to think the worst.

Sending kind thoughts and best wishes your way, Brian.

Dear Brian

Many thanks for your reply, I think what makes it worst is my friend has just been diagnosied last week with throat cancer, and because she private health care she is being seen and things happening immediatley. Whilst obviously wish her the best of luck I cannot but feel saddened that I cannot do the same for my mum.

Just not a good time at the moment, first my mum 5 weeks ago now one of my best friends last week.

The waiting is killing me.

Regards

Debbie

Hi Debbie,

Sometimes thing happen all at once. When my mother was in the last stages of breast cancer witch had traveled to her brain, My youngest grandson who was only a few weeks old was found to have a lot of problems so It was a bad time for me too soI know how you feel.

One way people on here pass the time while waiting is to try and keep as busy as possible or to read a good book. Hope this helps, Brian.
