Hi Mary,

YES! That's exactly how I feel right now. I can't concentrate on any normal everyday tasks. Work is bottom of the pile, meal planning/food shopping, washing, keeping the house tidy....all gone out of the window! I don't know how to stop this inner turmoil and worry. It's overshadowing everything! What is it you are waiting for and how long do you have to wait? 

Hi Mary,

YES! That's exactly how I feel right now. I can't concentrate on any normal everyday tasks. Work is bottom of the pile, meal planning/food shopping, washing, keeping the house tidy....all gone out of the window! I don't know how to stop this inner turmoil and worry.

I shall reply to both of you the the same. Thank you for understanding. I was first seen by a GP last April. I have had blood tests, FIT, colonoscopy (clear) and a CT scan, various appointments and letters. In July I had a biopsy the results of which were inconclusive. Next Tuesday I shall have another biopsy, then I shall be waiting for results. I know millions of people in the world have far worse worries, but thank you, again, for understanding my waiting world and empathising with it.

I forgot to say that I have been told the biopsy will be sent to histology and the results would be available sometime up to ten days. Then the team will discuss it and then ring / send an appointment for me.

I hope you get your appointment very soon Mary. Mine is on Tuesday and I'm waiting for the histopathology results of an excisional biopsy I had last Tuesday so will have been a 2 week wait in total. Feels like a lot longer already! How are you doing today? 

Doing okay, thank you. I hope you get your results soon.
