Family are worried

Hi everyone im awaiting diagnosis but being treated like a ovarian cancer case, my case is very complex. My poor family are so worried, i wish i knew what to say to them. My friends are worried too. Im coping myself now, i was worried but am calmer as ive got a while yet before i know exactly what scan they will do next. So using my time doing a bit of arts and  crafts, Trying to distract myself. My mom trying to help in every way possible and my friends too, my hubbys family are too but everyone is struggling with the wait and possible diagnosis. I wish i could reassure them but i can't as i need reassurance myself. Only testing and finding out results will help i guess or not. I don't know. I pray for my friends and family that they will recieve comfort. Has anyone got any suggestions on how to deal with the anxieties of others when awaiting diagnosis?  I feel guilty for being in this predicament and that they are suffering because of it. 

  • Hello Chrissy, 

    The wait for results is always tough for everyone involved but please don't feel guilty for what's going on. I'm sure your family and friends understand how tough this is for you and wouldn't want you feeling this way.

    Hopefully some of our members will offer their thoughts and advice to you soon but in the meantime I hope this information will help.

    It sounds like you're filling your time well - I've always found art and crafts to be very relaxing - and hopefully it won't be too much longer before you receive your results.

    Kind regards,
