Feeling Overwhelmed

I did get the results of my biopsy and I do have Cancer DCIS. I met with my own GP this morning and she sent a referral to a Surgeon. By the time I got back the office called me and said they had booked me with the Surgeon tomorrow morning for a consultation at their office. On Friday I need to go have blood work done because of a full body Cat Scan. So everything is moving faster then I expected. Feeling so overwhelmed right now. 

  • It is so hard understanding what I am feeling. I am so depressed waiting for the rest of the test to be done, I just want this to be over with and begin my treatments. I feel like a yo-yo going back and forth from the hospital. My moods are up and down. One minute I am happy the next minute I am crying. I can't eat much because my tummy is upset. I can't focus on one thing.  

  • Hello White Angel, just want to echo what Harry2 has said - most of us have been where you are right now, but once all these tests are done you will be in a better position to face what has to be done.  The good thing is that they seem to pulling out all the stops and quickly, so they can find the best possible treatment.  

    Thinking of you, I do know what that black place is like when first diagnosed.

  • Thank you, Hazel and you are right they are moving quite fast. Cat Scan and Bone Scan are on the fifth and I just got a call from the hospital that the Biopsy on the lymph nodes is on the twelfth.  Then all we have to do is wait for the results. Then the surgeon said she will set a date for the surgery And you are right I feel I am in a dark place.

  • Hi White Angel

    I can totally relate to yoiur earlier comments about mood swings. I also know thge feeling about wanting treatment to start. Having had pleurisy in April and a follow up CT Scan in July, I received a call 6 days later to say they had found abnormalities in both lungs. I had the urgent referral, tests and saw the medics and surgeon. I was diagnosed with lung cancer, never havung smoked I was totally bowled over by this. They seem to think tgey may have caught it early?. Just had one operamtion which involved removing my bottom right lobe. Due to have another operation in respect of top leftblobe. Tgen some smaller nodules in other lobes to deal with. Even though its a worrying time there are fabulous surgeins around who know their job. I got to see the surgeon again soon. Just occassionally you have these waves of emotions and feel down, want to scream and feel sorry for myself. I know this doe!snt help. I wish you all the best with your treatment you will be in my prasyers. Take Care

  • Hi

    I totally understand where you are coming from . My lovely partner of 15 years has recently been diagnosed with Liver cancer aswell as cirrhosis of the liver and more recently stage 2 cancer in his voice box . I am beside myself with worry .

    He has just had surgery on his throat and we are awaiting the results of that .

    So much to take in . His liver treatment is on hold until until his throat is sorted.

    Thinking of you

    Love Angie xx

    Hi White Angel,

    I am sorry that I haven’t replied to you for a while. I have been on holiday and had no Wi Fi access.

    I am glad to see that you have had all your tests done now. Are you having surgery before radiotherapy? If so, I presume that this is behind you now. Have you started your radiotherapy yet and, if so, how’s it going?

    Kind regards,
