So sorry to see you here @Enaid ... all the best for your biopsy and other scan results ...
I was ‘the gate keeper’ for my husband’s cancer 10 years ago, and when diagnosed myself 3 years ago, I just kept everyone informed with a weekly then monthly email. I didn’t tell some family and friends for well over 12 months .... only tell those who will be supportive of you xxx
As @FLClover says ... try and find some good in every day as it will help keep your mind buoyant ... even if it is just eating a mango or some other ‘treat’ .... The waiting between appointments really sucks, so keep as busy and active as you can, doing things you love. I went fishing every day between all my appts ... it kept body and mind ‘busy’!
Stay away from Dr Google, as everyone’s case is unique and a lot of stuff there s old and obsolete and may scare you!
Take someone with you to appts, both for moral and physical support .... and record your meetings on your phone for future reference (if you need to go over it again later.) It is easy to ‘miss bits’ in the stress of the moment.
Vent away here .... we’ve all had idiots giving useless advice .... I was told to drink iodine! AS IF!
All the best, take care xxx
