Overwhelmed with worry - awaiting multiple tests and results. How did it turn out for you? Everything is coming back as bad news for me so far

Hello @everyone 

I am not coping with the worry so thought I would reach out for support.

There are 2 things going on for me.  I have a colonoscopy coming up this Thursday and a biopsy for a suspected growth and endometrial cancer for which my pre-op is on Wednesday.  My GP referred me on the 2 week cancer pathway.  Everything is coming back as bad news so far with regards to my FIT test and also my gynae ultrasound scan and I am expecting the worse there's no point me pretending otherwise.

My son is in Qatar and I was meant to be going to visit him this month but looks like I won't be going now because this is all happening.

Have any of you been awaiting multiple tests and results at the same time.  How did it turn out for you?  If it was good news what did they find and if it was bad news how do you cope and remain hopeful?

Thank you so much for reading my post x

  • Hi Finalba,

    Welcome to Cancer Chat. It's never easy waiting for appointments and results so I'm sure this must feel tough, and I hope you're getting on as OK as can be.

    There will be many others here who will have experienced the range of difficult emotions that come when dealing with this uncertainty. Hopefully you'll get more replies to your post here soon - my reply will give your post a little boost so a few more people should see it.

    You can also use the search bar on the homepage of the forum to find other relevant discussions and people to connect with.

    I hope that all goes OK with the appointments this week, and that you get the information you need soon.

    Wishing you all the best,
