Re: waiting is making me feel sick
Had a call from the hospital this afternoon, tomorrow morning heading in for more tests i.e CT/bone scan, possibly blood test and maybe additional biopsy. I'm nervous as all hell again now as it's now beginning to kick off. Going to watch a heap of nonsense tv tonight to help my mind go blank so I can hopefully get some sleep without stressing too much. At least now I know things are moving and can start taking in some of the amazing advice I have received here about taking one step at a time an breathing :)5ViewsSign in to react to this post0CommentsRe: waiting is making me feel sick
thanks @kezmusc yes I have found wine of great comfort :) My plan is definately to just keep working and going about life as normal as I can and work this in around it. Until I know more from the hospital, I don't know what is coming up next, so trying not to worry/stress too much about stuff I don't know about yet.ViewsSign in to react to this postCommentsRe: waiting is making me feel sick
thank you so very much to everyone. I really appreciate it. I have gone out and bought things to help boost my immune system, as even stress alone can impact it and I want to have the best possible chance of being at my best to get through this for me and my family. I now have immune boost tablets, vitamin C, collodial silver and also picked up some aromatherapy and ginger candy to help the stomach. I also called the hospital to follow up on my appointment and it's currently pending with the Dr to finish reviewing the referral and results/notes to then contact me to work out what needs to happen. I will now also follow up about a breast care nurse. I just went and had lunch with my amazing work friends who helped me feel at ease and comforted and I even managed to eat my lunch without feeling sick. I came back to the office and another lovely friend had left me a beautiful card and aromatherapy candle. I am feeling very loved and supported right now. I will keep touching base and reading other's experiences as I do find reading what other people have gone through a great comfort in knowing we are very strong bunch of women who go through hell but come out the other side stronger than ever.ViewsSign in to react to this postCommentswaiting is making me feel sick
Hi all, I am new to this forum. I found a lump 2 weekends ago, went the Dr on the Tuesday, Wednesday had mamogram, ultrasound and fine needle aspiration. Mamogram confirmed there was something there and Dr scared the living daylights out of me asking me if I had income protection as I would need alot of time off work. Monday I got the results of the biopsy, Dr couldn't really tell me anything other than it was being referred to the breast clinic at the hospital and now I need to wait to hear back. From what I can gather that's written on the paperwork the lump I found is cancerours and something about the node as well. I am near wetting myself and feeling so ill, can't eat properly can't sleep properly. I'm 38 with 2 children, husband, work full time and just having my career take off. I am absolutely sick with worry. I have amazing family and friends around me supporting us, but I just can't help but worry. I have returned to work to try and keep my mind busy until I get the hospital appointment. I have put Dr google away as that just made it worse trying to understand individual words in the report. Does anyone have any suggestions of how to calm the nerves/stomach please?ViewsSign in to react to this postComments
