Can’t do this

I can't do this, I'm tearing myself apart, I've read so many stories like mine which turned out I be nothing to worry about but I've convinced myself 100 percent that I have ovarian cancer, my appointment is Thursday, 2 weeks of hell, I'm not eating, sleeping, my heart is constantly racing, can't breathe, I need this to be over

  • I feel your pain! Im currently in the two week wait for melanoma! Scariest two weeks of my life and I have never felt anxiety like it before!

     

    the only advice I can give you is to keep yourself as occupied as possible. Keeping my mind constantly busy is what's getting me through this painful wait.

     

    I really hope all turns out good for you, sending you well wishes! Xx

  • I'm so sorry you're feeling like this. I found your post whilst googling how to keep calm whilst waiting for results. I am 35 & waiting on mammogram results. I have had 3 missed calls from nhs over the last few days & I'm annoyed I missed them & im worried I need to go back again for more tests. I am going to try netball tonight to distract myself and help me lose weight. ( I'm really worried right now I am overweight which doesn't help with my risk but worry stress makes me want to comfort eat so it's a vicious circle). We can't control or predict the outcome but we can control where we shift our attention & energy. It's easier said than done. Sending you lots of hugs xxx

  • Hey, I'm sorry to hear you are being affected so much by the wait. We are all in this together so if it helps please keep posting your thoughts. It's a natural reaction to think the worst and there is not much you can do about the waiting time. I've found going for walks, forcing myself to see friends and family and remain distracted has helped.if you can find anyone you trust to talk to that has helped me too.  Don't fight the worry but do try to do things you enjoy. Get your favourite food so you can't resist. You have got this. Sending lots of love xx

  • This article was shared on another post & I found it useful to read: www.saga.co.uk/.../how-to-cope-with-waiting-for-news

  • Hey, sorry you feeling like this. The waiting it the worst part. I'm currently waiting for my results, trying to push it to back of my mind. Not stress and worry but it's easier said than done.  Iv vented on here just to take some worry from my mind. 

    So what you need to do. Fingers crossed 

  • Hello 

    I was the exact same two weeks ago as my CA125 level was high. Had my scan and was absolutely fine. I have recently had a FIT a test now and I'm convinced I'm got bowel cancer now. Minds definitely play tricks on yourself especially when your so worried. 
    I'm sure everything will be fine x

  • Hi, did you find out why your ca125 was raised?

    x

  • If I don't have ovarian cancer then I'm not having any more tests, I feel fine, I have no symptoms whatsoever, wish I had never had the bloody blood test to start with, I've been suicidal over this

  • They still have no idea. I'm worried cause it was 109. She said it could be a number of reasons. She said the scan brought it some tiny fibroid's but she said my level could just be high. I'm having another ca125 next Monday so will see what comes back. The doctors didn't seem too worried after my scan results. It's me pushing to find out the cause x

  • Well my scan is Thursday, it's been the worst 2 weeks of my life x
