Waiting for biopsy results for Panendoscopy and Thyroglossal

I am due to get my results on Thursday for biopsy and it is starting to feel real now.  It didn’t bother me before but now it’s getting closer I’m getting more and more scared.  i had a Thyroglossal Duct cyst removed and a Pandenoscopy as irregularities were seen on base of tongue two weeks ago.  Unfortunately  I keep getting a collection of fluid and I have been back to hospital 3 times to have it aspirated.  

I know I should try and stay positive but it’s so hard and I can’t talk to my family about it, because they are just as concerned and nobody wants to actually talk about it in case I get upset.  People also think if they don’t talk about it then it won’t happen. I just feel very alone and scared.  I want the days to go so it’s Thursday and I get the results but at the same time I don’t want Thursday to come at all.

I feel that I am probably being a bit of a baby and overreacting.  I would like to hear how anyone else copes with the waiting.

  • Hi Biggles22,

    Welcome to Cancer Chat.

    I'm sorry to hear about your worries, but please know that your feelings are perfectly natural and understandable. Sometimes uncertainty is the worst thing.

    I see it is not long now until you get your results, and hopefully then you should have some answers and knowledge to help.

    This forum is a very welcoming community and there are always lots of people who have gone through similar situations, so please feel welcome here to talk through any feelings you have. Talking to others does tend to be a useful thing to do, rather than worrying by yourself.

    I want to wish you well for your results tomorrow. Do feel free to use this forum for support as and when you would like anyone to talk to.
