Hi Samiam 

I'm sorry you find yourself here. Its daunting to find yourself typing on a cancer chat forum. Something I'm sure you hoped you would never do. 

I have breast cancer and am currently being treated so different to your situation, but in terms of being frightened waiting for results, I totally understand. 

So i understand, how do you know that they have your biopsy results already? And if they do, is the only other communication You’ve had is that they said a consultant would call you in two weeks? 

I don't know for certain obviously, but I would expect them to be in touch a lot sooner if they thought there was something worrisome. 

I also was asked to go in, in person for the results of my biopsies as they already knew it looked suspicious from my tests. I ONLY got my results over the phone because I requested this. 

Please try and stay calm and breathe deeply.

Hi Vicki. 

Thanks for your reply, the letter doesn't say they have my results it simply says someone from the ent department will call me on the 16th March. Maybe I'm jumping to conclusions that they have my results.

I'm so sorry for what you're going through right now. It's definitely daunting to find myself here being 29. But knowing there are people here that can help me make sense of things is definitely helping. It's the worst thing to read things and see some have received bad news over the phone, that's half of why I posted because I'm a bit lost.

Thank you again for your reply I really appreciate it.

I'm not surprised you feel lost. I just wanted you to know that you are not alone. 

Again, I don't know, but I do not imagine they would give you an appointment for two weeks time if it was anything serious. 

However, the best thing you can do is call the people who sent the letter, on Monday and ask why you have a telephone call booked for that date. Tell them you are incredibly anxious and they will do everything they can to put your mind at rest I am sure. 

In the meantime, try and do some free meditation on YouTube if your mind wanders. Have a nice warm bath and try and remember that you can only deal with what is in front of you right now and for now, you are here and you are OK. 

Hugs to you x

Oh and if you feel overwhelmed at any point, there is a phone number that puts you in touch with the lovely cancer research nurses who can chat to you. They are wonderful. It is on this website somewhere if you search under nurse. 

Thank-you xx

Hi There 

These waiting timess are so terribly worrisome.  I am about to have my MRI scan to neck / throat today and a biopsy Monday -  I am truly terrified .  
 

I am sure you could request to be face to face with your consultant   I am leaning more to wanting my results over the phone but I have huge fear of hospitals in  general and would rather be in my own comfort zone .  It may be that your results are not yet back but they aniticipate they will be by this date.

Stay strong , you are not alone .. I always  thought I was strong and level headed but finding myself facing unknowns  like this as shown me that I am far from strong and my mind is totally zoned into irrational thinking 

Hugs

Jo
