  • Hi Tashaxoxo,

    Welcome to Cancer Chat. I hope you're getting on OK - it can often be unsettling when there is this uncertainty.

    Try to keep your mind off it as much as possible prior to your appointment, and also stay away from Googling it as this tends to make things worse. Some people say it helps to keep busy and distracted while you're waiting for the appointment.

    There will be many people here who have gone through something similar, so do browse the forum if you would find it helpful.

    I hope it's not too much longer for you to wait to find out more.

    Wishing you all the best,
