Hi All...just touching base...I am still waiting for tesults...I even called them on Tuesday but they said to me ..oh no too soon. I was sure they told me 2 to 4 weeks as they knew where to look. Anyway ...resolved I had at least 3 weeks to hear.
My sister had an appointment with them also this day (which is in Adelaide ...500km away) with the same counselor. She wad told 2 to 4 weeks as they know where to look...hmmm. My sister said the counselor said she would be contacting me this week but have to wait until after the multidisciplinary team meeting.
So my anxiety is again sky high. To me...if it was negative what is there to discuss? I believe that means it is positive. Then I keep saying to myself it isnt for sure . I'm so fed up. I'm scared to know but just need to know. And then the next stage starts...I'm just now also stressed about surgery waiting times. The other thing the counselor said to my sister was she had enquired about teleheath for us so they could support us and they also have found out that a onco gynacologist visits here so we could have surgery here. ..hmmm ...would she do all those enquiries if it was negative?
Then of course Adelaide was without power yesterday. ..dammit...does this mean more delay?
Sorry. ..but trying to pretend I am not freaking out isn't working. I needed to share with people who understand.
Thanks
