Hi @Hils .. So sorry to see you here, but you are in the right spot for support and info from those who’ve gone before you! Yep, the waiting sucks bigtime. You never really get used to it.
You’ve got a lot on your plate - definitely see a social worker to make sure you are getting all the help you can with hubby specially once you see the surgeon and have an idea of the timeline!
We all know the fears of the results ... but I told myself, “It is what it is and no amount of worrying will change whatever the result will be” ... so I went fishing every day whilst waiting! LOL. Worked for me.
I am glad your daughter is going with you To meetings etc .,... I recorded mine on my phone too, as it is easy to miss things, as you ponder what they’ve said .... and miss the next bit! Grrr
Once you have your plan, it will be strangely comforting .... and I then found the surgery to be way less horrible than my overloaded brain had thought it to be!
take care, big hugs .... and all the best for tomorrow. Xxx
