Results day today, so nervous

Hello all,

After 6 weeks of tests and scans I'm finally getting my results this afternoon. I was told 3 weeks ago that biopsies of my supraclavicular lymph nodes showed that I have secondary cancer. At that time they didn't know where the primary had started. More scans and worry followed. So here I am today, nervous and in a lot of shoulder and arm pain, tablets haven't helped. I've been stuck in bed, doped up to the nines and can't believe with this much pain I'll get a good result. I've sobbed to my husband and family, even my lovely dog has been allowed on the bed for a cuddle. I'm normally a strong woman but the last few weeks have made me physically, emotionally and mentally weak. In 4 hours time I'll know, the longest 4 hours off my life. Thanks for allowing me to have an outlet. Xx

 

  • Hi [@Twolumps]‍ 

    I'm sorry to hear about your news, but welcome to the club!

    I know how you're feeling, it's crap. But you're starting treatment, things are happening and every day brings you closer to this whole nightmare ending. It'll take some time but it will come to an end eventually, just keep going keep smiling and stay positive. Remember this isn't forever. This is what I'm doing anyway and it helps. I also use humour...!

    Someone else here said that the very first chemo worked wonders for their pain so fingers crossed you won't be in pain for much longer.

    All the best and take care

  • Thank you Honey, I'm just waiting for things to start now. Xx

  • I know it seems unbelievable as I've had two ct scans a PET scan a colonoscopy an endoscopy a mammogram and both core and fn biopsies. The secondary cancer is in my lymph nodes but the primary has either disappeared or so small it can't be found. The only thing they can do is chemo now and maybe they'll find the primary at a later stage. If you search for CUP cancer it will tell you more, I'd never heard of it before. Thanks for your best wishes and I will.let you know how things go. Xx
