Coping with the wait!

Hi, just wondering how anyone else has been able to cope with waiting for test results.  Have been told I have cancer but waiting for biopsy results to determine whether it's lymphoma and if so what type.  The waiting is so frustrating and upsetting and I feel like I'm on an emotional rollercoaster.  I try to keep myself busy and to avoid researching - although that's quite difficult at times.  Sometimes it's hard to stop my mind wandering to worse case scenario.  I'm sure that there are lots of you in the same position and wondered if you chould share how you are dealing withi it, or just confirm that what I'm going through is perfectly normal :)

  • Another wait then.

    The feedback you got regarding no cancer must be a relief.

    Perhaps you could send a message to one of the nurses on here about why they might take a biopsy in respect of Barratt's tongue.

    Hope your consultation on 20th March goes well.

    Just FYI - my friend has just been diagnosed with a hiatus hernia and gastritis after having a gastroscopy. Not nice but not cancer.
