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 ?

  • Hello. I don’t really have anything to offer other than to say I couldn’t read your post and not send you some virtual hugs. I haven’t been in your situation. I am still waiting my laparoscopy. I do believe that your gut feeling is something to trust. It sounds very much like you are already preparing to hear those words come from the consultant. I think if this were me, I would spend tomorrow writing down the questions you want to have answers to so you have them ready, and also a day to be kind to yourself. 
    do you have someone to come with you?
    really hoping yoir appointment goes well.
    keep in touch, this too shall pass x  

  • Thank you . I have had a gut feeling since August and only now are my gp listening.  

    But my gut also is its fixable . So iam hanging on to that.

    I have a list that I have given to my mum so she can ask for me .

    I hope you get your laparoscopy soon the wait is horrible. 

    Xx

  • You sound like you are as prepped as you can be. I’ll be thinking of you tomorrow. Hoping it’s minimal treatment going forward. Keep me updated. Sending love for your appointment x
