Appointment tomorrow - waiting is so hard

Hi all,

I have an appointment with a thyroid specialist tomorrow afternoon and I'm driving myself a little crazy! When they called me last week with the appointment they said my biopsy result hadn't come back yet, so I was surprised they knew they needed to see me. I am so crap at waiting and I'm feeling guilty for being so worried because I know that even if it is a cancer diagnosis, it could be so much worse.

Can anyone relate? Not sure how best to get through this next 24 hours or so!!

Thanks in advance anyone who reads this.

  • Hey Dogmum,

    I had my diagnosis yesterday - papillary thyroid cancer which has spread to my lymph nodes. So I'll have an op in a few weeks and Radioactive Iodine Treatment after that. I feel really peaceful, I was expecting it so it's good just to know and to be able to move forward. Also my cancer nurse is a lady from my church which is just a lovely coincidence!

    Take care of yourself,
