Hi Beaumont44, 

I just wanted to say we are thinking of you during this stressful time. I guess the MDT meeting was today and I hope that you get an appointment soon to find out exactly what is going on. It's completely normal to be scared when dealing with all this uncertainty at the moment and after having been through all these tests. 

Let us know what you find out - you are not alone though and many members of our community have been through this before and will hopefully come and say hello soon and share their stories with you. While you are waiting, as there is nothing harder than waiting for a diagnosis, I thought I would share with you our helpful tips to help you cope while waiting for news. 

Best wishes,

Thankyou for your response , nothing today but hoping a phonecall in the morning x

You have dealt with chemo, so shows you have the strength to get through tough times. Keep this in my mind and take each day as it comes. I will find out if chemo needed or not once the surgery has been done. I am sure we can get through this and having somewhere to talk and share our feelings with others that are going through it is great and a real help and different to talking to friends and family, who love and support us but can't understand how we are fully feeling. Stay strong and I will be thinking of you. 

Yeah maybe it's time to be positive again, I have been so far because I knew chemo would come to an end , but no end to the next bit , It is good to talk to people going through the same , family and friends are great but hearing that you're so strong and brave gets a little tiring , we have no choice at end of the day , I do think it's sane as in the beginning bk in August its the unknown again that is daunting , hopefully you won't need chemo after but if you do it will be OK..lets focus on getting rid ! Be thinking about you too xx

Hi how are you and your daughter doing ? I've had appt at hospital for bloods and to pick all the stuff up I have to take before my op , I feel loads better for the chat with the nurse today , and she's there tue when I go in , so I'm all geared up and ready to go ..hope you're doing ok ..lots of love xx

Hi there, glad you are feeling a bit better about your operation after speaking with the nurse. I had my 2nd chemotherapy today they have reduced them a little because I only had two good days out of the 12. I felt totally exhausted with zero energy. Good luck on Tuesday and I Hooe everything goes well for you on Tuesday. Stay strong thinking if you and sending hugs.                                   Anne Marie x

Yes we are ok.  I completely understand you are nervous.  My daughter and I are feeling anxious about the ne t stage.  It will be all fine I am sure of it.   Lots of love xx

Had glucose sachets to take last 2 days and a laxative and antibiotics, also nurse was coming today to give me injection to thin blood at 8 and 6 ..but because of the weather they couldn't get here ! I had to do them myself ! I managed it lol I've to take another glucose sachet in morning at 5 then I'm ready! Not long til your daughter scans is it 20th? Sure all will be good xx

Yes it is the 20th.  So much to do to prepare for the surgery x

I hope you're daughter gets to know what she's facing after scans , I don't know and it's the worst again ! Not knowing if stoma will be permanent or not ..praying tonight it's not xx

Yes I think that’s what I am concerned about she’s so young as well.  She seems more positive about it than me.  She has been amazing through all this xx

That's really good that she's positive , well I better go to bed up at 5 for more glucose! Lots of love to you both ️ xx

Good night get some rest.  All the best for tomorrow xx

I hope all is going well for you today.

I'm waiting to hear if I'll need chemo/radio. It's all very daunting and scary. 

Hi hope all went well with your surgery.  Just wanted to let you know I have and I am thinking of you.  Lots of love hopefully speak soon xx
