Living in a waiting world

Do you ever feel as if you are living in a different world from other people? - in a waiting world? You try to get on with ordinary, normal everyday things, but the unknown is hanging over you and really in a way you are just sort of existing in this waiting world?

    Hi Mary. 

    I completely understand what you are saying. I started a new job today and usually I'd be a wreak with nerves but this morning was total auto pilot mode. Until I get through my appointment on Friday I think I will continue to sleep walk through the day to day.

    Can I ask what it is you are waiting for? Mine wait is for my 2ww breast clinic referral.

  • 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.
