Hello JAN1958 and welcome to the forum,

I’m sorry to hear how anxious this wait has been for you. It’s understandable to be feeling so worried right now, especially when you're left with unanswered questions and the time in between feels so long.

You’ve done the right thing by getting checked out, and it sounds like things moved quickly at first, which is positive. But I can hear how unsettling it’s been to now be in this period of waiting, especially after receiving a letter asking you to come back in rather than simply getting a reassuring update.

Many members here will understand exactly how you’re feeling right now: that sense of fear, sleepless nights, and not knowing what to expect. You're not alone in this, and I hope it helps a little to share what you're going through here.

If you ever feel like you’d prefer to talk to someone directly, our nurses are also here to listen and support you and you can reach them on 0808 800 4040, Monday to Friday, 9am to 5pm.

We're all here for you, so please keep posting whenever you need to.

All the best,
Renata, Cancer Chat Moderator

I have same but am 85. Had biopsy and removal of polyp the three weeks later was told no cancer, so don't give up hope.
