I am petrified.

Hopefully they won't be too long but some only come on forum every so often, oh" welcome "to the club nobody wants to join sometimes people only come on here to let off steam have a good rant,. I'm looking after my disabled wife 24 /7 so i get time to check through things,. I've also got non curable cancer, but being on here takes my mind off my problems a bit IF I can help others I'm happy,. God bless.

Hello Billy,

I really do appreciate your reply. Thank you. You hit the nail on the head-the club that no one wants to be a part of. I’m glad that being here gives you some respite.

Kindest,

Jo

Thank you for the tag 

Hi J, I’m so sorry to hear your news! The waiting game has got to be so hard right now with the diagnosis. I’m at the early stages I’ve just gone to my GP today and I’ll be having my blood tests on Thursday and the results the following Friday and that’s hard enough I can’t imagine how you’re feeling. 

I keep findig myself thinking the worst as I’ve had on and off symptoms for a while but it’s been constant now for a few weeks. My aunt has been diagnosed with ovarian cancer and she’s at hospital today for her treatment plan. I’ve lost a lot of family to cancer recently. We have a big family so it’s bound to happen more to us. I sat up most the night crying thinking of my 5 kids I could potentially leave behind. I don’t have a diagnosis yet and I pray I’ll be okay but the fear is real. I don’t think I’d cope well with a diagnosis. 

How are you coping? Do you have enough support around you? 

What were your main symptoms of you don’t mind me asking? 

Im 33 with 15, 12, 7, 4 and 2 year olds and I’ve already had CIN3 treatment on my cervix 11 years ago.

best wishes and praying for a speedy and full recovery for you x

Hello Beatricex,

Thank you so much for replying to me, I massively appreciate it.

Today I have my scan and tomorrow the results, to say I am petrified it the understatement of the year. I’ve always had health anxiety and feared this and then it arrives at the door-it’s like being in a nightmare during the day and going to sleep provides the respite.

I am so sorry for where you currently are in life, but even through that you’ve taken the time to reach out to a stranger to comfort her-that tells me you are stronger than you perhaps know and you are so kind.

I have a therapist that I see privately for childhood related things and was just about to stop that as life was great and then this happened so I had an emergency appointment with her following my diagnosis.

 Thank you for all of your kind words and yes, please do reach out too.xxx

Hello Joanne,

Thank you so much for reaching out to me, it’s so kind of you.

Like you, I’m terrified, I am beyond scared just like you of leaving my child behind. 

I have my scan today and results to follow, my anxiety is through the roof but I am trying so hard to keep busy, stay positive and be brave.

I am so sorry to hear about your aunt’s diagnosis, I’m sending her best wishes and courage for the journey ahead-how is she feeling?

I am so sorry you spent the night crying, bless your heart, as a mother I completely empathise. When will you get your results? I will keep everything crossed for you that it’s all clear and god forbid should it not be, we are here to support each other. 

I had no symptoms at all, it was found in a routine surgery to remove an apparent benign dermoid cyst on my ovary. 

Thank you for taking the time to reach out to a stranger, that in itself makes you a wonderful person, thank you.

J.xx

Thank you so much Beatrice. I am so scared, I’m going to keep repeating those words in my mind-one foot in front of the other.xx

Thank you for your kind words

i hope everything goes well for you, it’s good they’ve caught it early! 

Good luck for your results keep us updated

much love xxx

Oh and my aunt is very positive surprisingly! 

Shes had cancer and beat it before (breast) and she’s also had multiple heart attacks. She’s a strong woman!!
