Waiting results

where to start beginning would be good. Feb 2020 I noticed a mass right side of my neck I didn't see doctor till 27 October since then I've had all sorts of tests mri/pet ct scan biopsy bloods. My ent after all this said be doing operation they removed mass on neck also before operation told there was hot spot my right tonsil so that would get removed and biopsy base of tongue when I woke up from operation told they did biopsy of my tongue in a lot of pain now and have to wait for results really want 2021 been horrible year

  • I sincerely hope you get good results. Waiting for them takes it's toll. The not knowing. Good luck

  • Thank you I got told should be first week in January told me go enjoy Christmas with family so that's exactly what we going to do I have 2 boys and another on way what a year

  • Hope results come back ok. It's been a terrible year for everyone let's hope 2021 brings you good news 

  • Hope so after reading other people's experience on here Ino what they mean by the recovery so hard to eat and your hungry as well a lot of vegetables and mash for Christmas dinner ha

  • Hello Gaz,

    It  can be frustrating waiting for results, it is what It is (they generally come back pretty quickly). People do lots of things to take there mind off the wait. Crosswords,puzzles,walks etc.

    Sorry to hear that you are in pain, if you don’t have sufficient pain relief contact your local GP surgery.

    I would recommmend contacting your local Big C nurse who will help reassure you during this difficult time. You will find the number on the website.

    Good luck 2020 and I wish you back to good health soon.

     

     

  • Well 3 days ago phoned doctors and ended up getting liquid morphine does the trick but trying to get off it Ive been constipated over a week now sure things will get better and thanks for reply it's shocked me how many people show much love

  • Hello Gaz,

    I think most opiates slow your body functions down. You can get Cosmo col satchels and senna tablets to get you going again. 

    Ring the GP and get an order in, it’s not instantaneous and might take a day or two .

    I wanted to reply to you just to help you on track. It’s easy to get derailed in life. 

    Get well soon.

  • Been onto doctors been given fybogel hopefully get me moving. Must say mouth getting better each day took my patch off side of my neck did a fantastic job scar doesn't look that bad. It's waiting on these results what's the killer hope my appointment comes soon

  • Hello Gaz,

    It is a waiting game and it does test your patience, especially being a patient. There are relaxation apps Calm that are very good for meditation etc. 

    Give the Big C a call and they would probably hook you up with the app, maybe. Also the nurse wil be there to discus all your concerns.

    Glad to hear things are moving on the movement front. Take control where possible, waiting teaches us another level of humility as we all want treatment sooner rather than later. Thank God we have access to the NHS.

    Have a nice day, if you do feel you are not being processed in a reasonable time you could politely ask for an update ? Worth a try maybe.

  • Hello gforce1
