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 everyone, I am new to this - a little about why I have joined this chat... My Mother in Law was confirmed as having Stage 4 lung cancer 4 weeks ago - we have since had it confirmed it is also in her liver, bones and brain. We have gone from 4 weeks ago to knowing nothing other than she had a painful arm to this heart breaking news. A biopsy was taken just under 2 weeks ago and we are still waiting for the results. I guess I am just looking to know if anyone has any suggestions for me to help support my family at this time - my mother in law, father in law and husband. The waiting is just awful. 

  • Hi CST, So sorry to hear your news about your mother in law, so difficult and cannot imagine what she must be feeling, as others have mentioned the support of family and friends is paramount at these times. 
    My thoughts and prayers are with you all xx
