Hi James,
Welcome to the club nobody wants to join! But you’ve come to a GOOD place.
Yes, it’s pretty scary isn’t it, but console yourself that this is pretty standard procedure JUST to make sure. I had one and thankfully it was clear, but I’d rather have known if it wasn’t so that I could have the right treatment.
Youre at the worst stage at the moment going through all the tests and waiting for results. it does get easier when a treatment plan is in place. Just keep yourself as busy and active as possible and do lots of things that make you happy, and give yourself lots of treats. it won’t stop you worrying but will help you get through it. If you're struggling to cope, seek out support, there’s plenty out there from places like Maggies, or even phone the Specialist Nurses on here.
Good luck on your ‘journey’,
Derek
