Very worried

So my doctor rang me yesterday to say my ct results were back and they were very very bad, multiple lymph nodes in both lungs, chest cavity and airways,I'm terrified she mentioned lymphoma and blood cancer, I had a panic attack after hanging up,first one ever, she said I would be called in in around d 2 weeks for tests/biopsies

She then rang back half hour later and said she had discussed with specialist and they had said 4-6 weeks pathway as not overly worried 

I'm trying not to overthink but can't help it, I can't help but fear the worst, I'm female non smokers non drinker 48yrs slightly overweight

  • Hi Clare77,

    Welcome to Cancer Chat. I can understand this was difficult to process, especially if there perhaps wasn't much information.

    It is of course natural to feel worried when dealing with uncertainty like this, but it's good to hear they are not overly worried.

    Hopefully it won't be long to wait until the appointment. In the meantime we have some tips here on dealing with waiting for news, some of which may be helpful.

    I also hope this forum can be of some support to you.

    Wishing you all the best,

    Ben
