Results tomorrow

Hi,

I just generally thought I would air my feelings amongst others who know exactly what I'm going through. 

The last month in itself has just been a big blur and rushed by but the last two weeks after my biopsy waiting for my results have been so so strange, I know that there is a chance that I may not come out the same woman I go in as. I have my husband my mum and my nan coming with me for the results tomorrow, but I am terrified. 

I know there is a chance I will get good results and walk out feeling happy as ever finally having a clear future even if still not knowing what that future holds, I will at least know that it isn't Cancer.

However, I know there is also and in my mind a bigger chance that it will be Cancer, or that my liver which is a slightly separate issue but has been tested also, will be failing. I am terrified that I will die.

To put it bluntly. 

I just wondered how anyone else dealt with the day/day before of their results?

The specialist said in a letter to my GP and dentist, that he was worried that the lump is malignant, to me my whole world shattered, I've had tears, break downs been awful too my husband and snappy and just been a complete *** mess.

Wishing you all well, I will update after my results.

    It's AWFUL this waiting I know I've just been thro' it & was also convinced I was going to die - truly convinced. I had all the symptoms of bowel cancer & my GP was also concerned & put me on the 2 week pathway for urgent tests. I got my results (almost all - 1 more to do) & they have ALL come back clear. The Consultant I saw on Saturday said he wasn't worried but  recommended a colonoscopy to be safe. As you can imagine I'm so relieved. I'm rambling on about myself to show that you aren't alone & that people here understand totally how horrible you feel & how awful the waiting is. It's normal & scary & I'm afraid there isn't an easy way thro it. My GP says that 9 out of 10 people referred for cancer tests don't have it - I think they are pretty good odds don't you? Keep taking deep breaths & letting them out slowly - it's a stress relief technique that does work. Also, just try to keep busy doing normal stuff.

    Fingers crossed that all be well for you. x

    Hi :)

    Thank you so much for your reply, I am so so glad your tests have come back clear and does give me a little hope for tomorrow. I hope your last test all goes well. 

    Yeah, the waiting is *** as I am generally an impatient person anyway :p

    Again thanks so so much for replying, I will update you on how it goes and would love to hear from you once you have had your last test!! weird question I suppose but how did you feel after getting the all clear? I have heard some people although obviously ecstatic to not have Cancer, feel strange getting themselves back into a normal routine and stuff xxx

    Hello again I'm glad you have a bit more hope for tomorrow & thanks for your good wishes. Please do update me on the results - fingers crossed of course.

    Good question about how I felt. Relieved of course but the symptoms I have haven't gone away so still feel unwell the Consultant thinks it might well be IBS. It's unusal apparently that people over 45 get it & I.m 67! My GP thinks I might be depressed & there is a close link between depression & IBS so a bit yet before it's sorted. I do think it's taken a couple of days or so for it to sink in that I don't have cancer but I suppose everyone is different - the main thing of course is the relief!!

    I really hope that is how you are going to feel tomorrow & the chances are that you will. I'll think about you & keep fingers & toes crossed. x
