Please, don't feel isolated, there's always someone around to chat with. Even though we're all at different stages of different cancers, we're all playing the waiting game in some way or another

Hi Mezzanine
I think you'll find this is a common theme for all of us. I'm sorry you're feeling short of information. Have a chat with one of the Cancer Nurses here and get into some of the forums. If you look at my intro chain, there's heaps of advice about getting help, relaxation, dealing with waiting and stress.
If there's anything I can do to help, even if it's just listen, then please just shout out,
Eva

Hi Juno,
Have a chat with you GP, talk to the Cancer Nurses on here and get another appointment with your GYN. You can never have too much information.

I usually do 6k every day with the dog but can't do anything yet. As soon as I'm back on my feet I'll virtual walk with you. Promise. You don't mind if I bring my dog do you ;-)
I've kept this journey off FB because all my family is in the UK and I couldn't see the point in stressing them out until I had a diagnosis. But then I got my diagnosis and it was all over and done with. That said, all my family and FB. Friends know I've been poorly and like you, the support has been great.
Keep focused and positive?

Hi Sue,
Sorry I didn't reply, I seem to have lost a couple of days, yesterday at the CT and hospital and then today I've just slept..
I'm so glad things are moving forward for you. It must be quite a relief. I'm sure you'll get the information you need to help you plan, even if you don't know exactly what type it is, you'll have a treatment plan.
Please let us know how you get on tomorrow. You can do it!

Hi Ross,
Yeah all good news!
I got the all clear for the cervical cancer, they got it all with surgery so I am cancer free, fabulous news,
I'm blessed.
Just need to get my CA125 blood tests back to confirm no ovarian cancer as the Ct scan was clear and the mass is a heamatoma.
Unfortunately I've gone down with a massive pelvic infection. The GYN Wanted to admit me but he's given me some strong painkillers and antibiotics and 36 hours to improve at home. So I'm tucked up in bed being good :0)
So, that's hopefully the end of the cancer journey although not the end of surgery as the ovary will probably have to come out eventually, but that's another battle for another day.
How are you?

Oh Sue! How aaaarggghhhhing (if that's even a word)
You've had such a strung out wait. I'm sorry. Don't suppose there's anyway of hurrying things along either is there? I think you're right, get on with your life as best you can.
They had to cancel my appointment with the GYN at the last minute but I had an appt with my GP. That afternoon. She got the results sent over as I had a major meltdown in the surgery :0(
There were abnormal cells in the cervix but they were contained in the chunk he took away so no more treatment for that phew, so that's it. That would be the end of it but the post op infection I picked up had my GP send me for an X-ray and ultrasound. The ultrasound picked up a mass in the pelvis so they're checking me out for ovarian cancer now. Balloons yesterday, CT today and of course, my cancelled and rescheduled GYN appt with the surgeon who's just about to go on holiday for 8 weeks! Welcome to the merry-go-round
Hang in there Sue.

Hi Sue,
Seems like it's some sort of perverse way they come up with of making it worse doesn't it? Yeah, we know you're panicking about your results, we just thought we'd extend your misery a little longer. I know you've been waiting an awfully long time for this appointment. I feel a bit silly getting upset over one day but oh god, this has being going on in some shape or form for six months. I will learn this life lesson, patience.

They just phoned and moved my appointment until tomorrow afternoon. I know they had a really good reason and i know there's nothing I can do, and I know it's only another 36 hours but oh! It's so hard waiting, even another day. :0(
