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 feel the same. I have cancer in my lymph node - they think from the breast but nothing showed on mammogram. Had CT scan on Sunday and sending myself crazy while waiting for the results. Swing from it’s ok and treatable to worrying it’s spread everywhere - it’s so hard not to consider the worst possible scenario. I have found meditation app has helped sleepless nights where my mind is racing. Hope you get some positive news 

  • Hi yes we are all on an emotional rollercoaster and I like you find myself thinking really positive and then worrying why the results are taking so long which can only mean bad news.  I'm really trying to focus on what I do know rather than making up what I don't x hopefully we will all know soon and then we can get on with treatment and recovery x love and prayers xx

  • Hope you get your results soon. Hopefully will be easier when we know what we are dealing with and have a plan. Also need to focus on what I know not my worst fears! Sending love and positivity x
