Going out of my mind waiting

Hi 

I feeling like I’m going out of my mind waiting for results. A while ago I started getting a pain in my ovary area. I went to the doctor and she did lots of bloods fit test and referred me for an ultrasound. All test results came back clear except the ultrasound that spotted something on my fallopian tube about 6.8cm x 2cm. They said suspected it was a blocked fallopian tube. My go was not too concerned but referred it to gynaecologist to double check. Next thing I know I’ve been put on an urgent cancer referral. 

I got sent for an mri scan the Saturday before Christmas and then Boxing Day got a text with a consultants appointment. I’m now completely freaking out and can’t sleep with worry as it’s all quick. What has made me more fearful is my friend told me on Christmas Eve she has breast cancer and her results were quick. 

I’ve got 13 year old twin girls, one has just been diagnosed as autistic and we suspect the other is too. They rely on me heavily for support and I’m their main care whilst my husband works. I’m so scared I’m poorly and won’t be there for them. They only let me take them to school and often refuse school. 

my husband just seems to be annoyed at my worrying and said I shouldn’t worry until I know, but that’s easier said than done. All I’m worried about is my daughters and telling them.

sorry to off load I just feel so alone. I do have my mum but she and my dad also have cancer so they have enough all ready to deal with. 

  • Hi Sim1000,

    Welcome to Cancer Chat. This sounds like a lot to deal with, especially with your family situation as well. It's never easy waiting for results and I know this is something many people here will relate to.

    I can understand the speed of appointments being a worry - though it's not generally possible to read anything into the waiting times, as every hospital is different. I hope that it's not long to wait until the appointment and for you to find out more.

    In the meantime, hopefully this forum can be of some support to you, and hopefully you'll get some more replies to your post soon. We are always here if ever you need to write things down and reach out to others.

    Wishing you all the best,
