Hello YorkshireLady

I see from your other post that we are the same age, and we are maybe in the same area of the country from your forum name, so I thought I’d pop in and say hello as I’m new here too. 

This is a really difficult and frightening time for you and we would all understand that. The not knowing is very hard to deal with, but once you get a chance to talk to the consultant and you get your scan and results you will feel that things are happening and you move from a feeling of loss of control to being more in control. 

At the moment you don’t have any real information, and I know there’s no point in me telling you not to worry because you will, but try and keep yourself busy and distracted as you wait for the next stage. 

I hope you don’t have too long to wait for your scan. I was referred very quickly for a CT scan of thorax and abdomen, so I remember very well how you will be feeling. Keep coming in and chatting and you will find lots of support from people who know exactly what this is like. xx
