  • Thank you for your comments yes it's hard especially with family ringing as we'll but will keep busy
  • The waiting does do your head for sure.  I think I had to wait 5 weeks to get final results but then the multidisciplinary team had to see them first before I had an appointment to discuss the final results.  I had to wait six weeks anyway following surgery to start my chemo.

    I handled this the same way as Deane did - kept busy doing exercises following surgery, walking, reading and keeping in touch with friends.

    Hope you don't have to wait too much longer.

  • thankyou deanne will keep busy i know they want the best result for me.it determines my treatment as they have told me .

  • That seems like a long time to me, I had my results back about a week after surgery. Maybe you could let the doctor know it's causing some anxiety and they might be able to move it along a bit. Waiting is definitely the hard part, best of luck with your results.
  • Thank you waiting is hard but necessary I know will take your advice
  • Hi Suziq48

    Waiting is pain and stresss.  I would say your Dr team were very caring, they might still investigate and test more on your results.  Your tumour had been removed, Get the best rest and recover yourself, there may be chemo/radio afterward, and you will need energy to fight for it.

    I was told to remove the whole log of lymph nodes, however, a week later they changed their mind of not doing it for me, since Chemo have to be taken place, and the drug will work on any area around that.

    Dont  think to much, just leave that to the Specialist and they definitely will sort that out and suggest you the best treatment schedule.

    Take care.
