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 :)

  • Hi x appointment on Friday was to tell me that the histology results are still not back yet but that I need to go for a PET scan which will hopefully be this week.  I've also been prescribed steroids which should reduce the swelling and inflammation but can't take them until scan complete.  Hopefully see consultant again next week pending biopsy results being in to discuss treatment plan.

    Trying to stay strong and positive but is getting harder the longer the wait goes on if I'm honest.

    Sending love and positivity to all x
