Waiting for results

Rose-ann

Hi I've just joined because I don't know who to talk to. I'm waiting for results from xrays, blood tests and 2 biopsies for possible mouth cancer. I have an appointment for my results on 31st march at the hospital but I can't sleep thinking about the results I've been waiting a week already and it's driving me nuts not knowing. 

Anyone else in the same boat? 

 

Thankyou

    Hi Rose Ann 
    I am kind of in the same place as you .  I have a MRI next  Saturday and biopsy the following Monday for suspect area of my soft palate  .  This waiting period is seriously draining emotionally.  I seem to wake at 2 to 3 am and then my mind is buzzing thinking about what ifs and i cant get back to sleep .  The only thing that has helped me get back to sleep was a calm app that i downloaded , it  literally mediitates you back to sleep , it has helped me on two occasions but I am thinking of talking to my GP or any GP on Monday to see if there is some medication they can prescribe to help me cope with these overwheming moments tbat come along  :cry:
