Hello Charmaine1983, 

It's normal to feel so anxious as you are waiting to find out more. This waiting game is something many of our members will relate to and there are helpful tips on this page to help you cope while waiting for news. You will probably have heard from them by now and I hope that you are feeling a little better.

I can imagine it must be stressful not to be able to get hold of your mum and I hope you have managed to speak to her by now. It's great your husband has been so supportive as it will help you get through this difficult wait. 

I know it is really hard but try not to worry too much or anticipate what it might be. The best thing to do to avoid thinking too much about this is to keep busy and distracted if you can and avoid looking things up online.

I hope you will also hear from others here who have been through all this before and that they will be along soon to share their story with you. 

Keeping everything crossed for you that everything turns out fine. 

Best wishes, 

Lucie, Cancer Chat Moderator

Thank you so much the article was very useful and I will try to stay positive. This has been the longest weekend of my life! Still no appointment, I called and they said I will be seen within the 2 week wait. I'm not sure I can cope with waiting much longer. I keep spotting symptoms I have which I put down to other things. I never thought for a second it could be cancer.
