Have my next Onc visit tomorrow week, so nervous, I know my tm's were up last test & I am terrified to find out the next reading.. PLUS, I have to go alone..Talk about sleepless nights & teary meltdowns!!.... Wish I knew what I did in a previous life to deserve the hand I have been dealt in this one........

Sending hugs, @Cate64. You know you are never really alone with all of us here to listen anytime.It really is a roller coaster for you. One minute on top of things and medals for your running! You are so impressive :) and then the worry again. Do you have a counselor or someone professional to talk with? I can only imagine how difficult this all is and surely some support of this sort should be accessible for you. Just picture all of your online support crew coming along with you next week. Hope there is room in the waiting room. xxx

Thanks @Deanne I have tried their counselor but everytime I spoke with him & would wind up second guessing & questioning myself. I found I was better off with my rock of a husband who, at the time, could accompany to all appointments but he is now in a new job & not in a position to though, having said that, I think if he knew how anxious I get going alone he would 'be sick' that day. Thank goodness for you girls & head slaps & big girl panties that I will now bring out :)

@Cate64 agree with @Deanne. Is the waiting room big enough? because we will all be there for you.

Big hug from another metasisister zall the best B

@Cate64 Sometimes we do need to put on the big girl panties ...... but that doesn't stop us from feeling anxious... sending you hugs and energy to cope with the lead up to your appointment... I know you are strong you are here and that is testament to your strength. remember to tell the Onc to wait a bit there are quite a few of us to come in with you .... hugs and love <3

You know, it just dawned on me girls... I am so sorry, you are all in the same boat as me & here I am venting on you guys so as not to cause anxiety in the family, how perfectly horrid of me...

Big Girl Panties on :)

Crumbs girl that's what we're here for - Family need to be protected from our real fears sometimes! That is what we are here for, or at least that is my view, we can tolerate the venting as we get it! It is wonderful that you've got offers coming in to be your buddy at the appointment.

Your appt's in Melbourne? If you can't get hold of a nurse let me know, perhaps I can help depending on when.....

Thank you all :)

Im still terrified & @primek yes my husband would come if I asked him but I dont like to let him know Im so terrified, I like to keep the brave face on for him & the boys, no point everyone being anxious.... @socoda I wish............ but I have an awful feeling about it..... & can they just bounce around up & down???

I am hoping the BC Nurse from Peter Macallum will ring this afternoon, I have reached out to her asking for help to change to a care team there.... I have no faith at all in TNH team... I dont like the blase, flippant way they treat me..
