Joined: Sep 2007 Posts: 37 | well its nearly here and i really want to go and get the results.
the 4 months of hanging around , worrying and waiting for results is really driving me to madness.
i was a nervous, crying , shaking wreck in the 3 to 4 months leading up to going back to the hospital, then since getting the biopsy 2 weeks ago i seem to have a sudden calmness about me that i never imagined was coming.
the fear and worry seems to have left for the time being and has been replaced with some anger and impatience,
i am so angry with all the twinges and pains that i fell in my throat, neck, chest and back/shoulder area, i get bloody angry because i dont know if its just my imagination running riot and whether it will all just dissapear if i was lucky enough to get good news on monday.
also annoying me is the fact that my tongue was fine until i got the biopsy, now theres a large white area that has a kind of hard feeling underneath that was never there before the biopsy, im hoping its just to do with the biopsy and stitches.
as i said i am just fed up waiting and now just want to go and find out either way so i can either get on with my bloody life or start doing something about this.
the aches and twinges are really peeving me right off !!!!!

Joined: Jun 2007 Posts: 5,260 | I know that feeling derek, I had a pet Scan 1 week ago today and mailed the results to the Cancer center. I called today and the Scans just got there.. I am worried too. But we will both survive this wait. I have the white tongue and a lump of some sort on the opposite side of the surgery. Good luck,,,,, Jim

Joined: Sep 2007 Posts: 37 | thanks, i am hoping for the best, dont want to have to tell my daughter any bad news, its my dads 60th tomorrow as well.
i am a little scared again, but im more in the frame of mind that i just want to go and know, as it has been really annoying me of late, so i have more of a fighting spirit about me.
thanks to all for your thoughts, i hope it works !!
thanks
