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 :)

  • I'm pleased that you have a great network of friends and relatives.

    Do you have to stay strong for everyone? You say you feel you should, but why? No need to answer, but something to think about.

    I don't feel weak or strong - just a human being having a difficult time. I'm doing my best to get on with life and have opened up to a few people. Life goes on and I'm grateful for all the good in it.
