Scared - cardiac scan revealed some mediastinal lymph nodes. I now have a consultant appointment in a couple of days time. Absolutely terrified

Had a cardiac CT scan week and half ago. One or two small mediastinal lymph nodes found. Now full steam ahead with lung nurse call and consultant appointment in a couple of days. Absolutely terrified. I am really fearing the worst 

  • Hi Clatterbang, 

    I can imagine this is such a stressful time for you and I am not sure whether by now you have had the consultant appointment and whether you have a bit more clarity as to what to expect. It is normal to be terrified when waiting for results and to fear the worst but it's best to try and stay well away from the temptation to look things up online as it will only bring up the worst cases and give you often inaccurate information. 

    I thought I would share with you these helpful tips to help you cope while waiting for important news. 

    I hope you will hear from the experiences of others who have been in a similar position and that they will pop by and share their story with you. 

    Keeping everything crossed for you that you find out more soon and that it all turns out to be nothing of concern.

    Best wishes,
