I am losing my mind while I wait for my results

Hello All,

My mind has gone on overdrive since my GP informed me I had an abnormal liver blood test. During our conversation the GP started asking if I am displaying cancer symptoms. He recommended we carry out a full check up on my blood tests and have a chest X-ray. I managed to get all the tests done this week and now I wait!!! I have gone insane with google searches which have left me paranoid and anxious. My mind is convinced I have cancer but I am trying to remain positive. My mind keeps replaying the telephone call with my GP and I become an emotional wreck, he used the word "secondary cancer". I do not know what to do or how long I will wait before I hear from the GP.

  • Hi Pinkystar,

    thank you for your message. 

    Last year was so difficult, I ended up having the x-ray which came back clear. Then I went for an MRI scan because the doctors were seeing something on my liver however were not sharing this information. So for about six months I spent most days in hospital undergoing tests. Eventually a letter dropped at my door step explaining the ultrasound I had in February indicated I have a lump in the liver (this made so much sense to why I was being sent for scans), however I was so upset because I was in the dark and a letter which was a copy to my GP made me aware I was undergoing cancer screening. 
    I went through sleepless nights wondering so much and this platform was my comfort. 
    A week before my birthday in July, all the results came and I was informed I have a lump on my liver but it is benign (praise the Lord). I was informed I was born with it and it's no harm to my health. 
    I will be forever greatful to everyone here who comforted me during my dark days. I have also gained a deeper insight of the emotions associated to cancer screening and for this, I have dedicated myself to anyone who needs support during such difficult times. 
     

    thank you everyone for being my comfort. 
     

    lots of hugs
