Freeking out about results - cant take the waiting

I had biopsies last Wednesday I have been sent a 'letter' by text today for an appointment next Wednesday its a phone consultation.

Does anyone know if this is a good thing or if it means nothing and I could still get bad news over the phone?

The waiting is driving me crazy- I cant concentrate or sleep  

  • Hello Yelsel41

    I'm sorry to hear that you're waiting on some biopsy results at the moment. I think most of our members here will understand how difficult this period of waiting can be and just how much the anxiety can affect you. 

    Before the Covid19 pandemic, it was very rare for us to have any members posting here on the forum to say that they had been given a cancer diagnosis by phone, but things have understandably had to change over the past year, and we know that some people do receive results by phone. 

    I know that it's difficult not to dwell on things. Try to keep busy and take things a day at a time. Hopefully, the appointment on Wednesday will bring answers and reassurance. Di let us know how you get on. 

    Best wishes,

  • Hi

    No advice to offer but I'm in the same situation and have literally just posted the same question.  I was expecting results by letter and was told at the clinic that they were pretty certain it was nothing to worry about but now I'm worried again

    I'm trying to hold on to the hope that Covid has changed things and this is the new normal way of doing things

    I hope everything works out for you
