How to settle nerves before appointment

I had a laparoscopy and a cyst removal.  My ca125 was 135 and 3 weeks later ca125 was 167. 

I got a call from a consultant to have a meeting on Wednesday to discuss results an plan for treatment moving forward. Also said I need to take someone along.

I have had a gut feeling it is cancer all along but now I am so scared to hear the words from the consultant.  

How did everyone manage emotions before hearing it being said ?

    I really feel for you. My hubby had a lung lymph node biopsy last weds told 2 wks for results & got a call today, 5 days to say MDT being done tomoz & a face to face is needed on Weds at 5.15pm. We both know its cancer, its just how bad. He as no symptoms but a 5cm lung mass & small infamed lymph node.

    Both of us just cant cope, I have cried so much I feel sick to my stomach.

    Just dont know how to face it. Lifes gone from us...

    Sorry to hear about your Hubby . Must be so hard for you both .  

    I have been trying to hold it together and not cry so the wee one doesn't think something is wrong until I know what's what.

    It's worrying it was so fast but the positive to that treatment can start faster. 

    Sending all my love .
