Thank-you
I had the test about two weeks ago and still waiting for the appointment to here my results they give you a post card to fill out then I must wait until the next appointment but I'm trying very hard to think positive I know the results are back by now, and I'm sure if there we're any concerns my doctor would have called me so I just wait and think happy thoughts but I can tell you some days are better than other's. I hope you are doing well also.

I'm sure that after two weeks they would have called you if something was up. If it is causing you much anxiety, just call them and tell them so. I usually get my results same day or next day so I can't imagine waiting two weeks. It must be really hard for you. I would just call the office and tell them that the waiting is bringing on much unnecessary axiety and you would like the results. Chances are the postcard is in the mail and it says all is well. I can't imagine that they would use a postcard for any other news.

It will be okay. Let us know when the postcard arrives!

I Too Am Grateful
Thank-you so much for the kind words I'm still dealing with anxiety everyday with fear this will come back it was just so painful I often cry hoping and praying it won't return because I don't think I have the strength to go through it again. I'm learning to trust my higher power and get on with living the psychological factors still take it's toll everytime I go to the bathroom I see blood I panic I'm currently waiting for results of last ct scan and hoping and praying it will be o'k this forum is a god-send for me I feel I can be open about how I feel and not worry about people asking silly question like, How did I get it? How does anyone get cancer?

Hello Censation, and
Hello Censation, and welcome. The people here have helped me greatly, I learned so much from reading their experiences. It helped me to be aware of possible side effects and ask questions to my doctors. I had to take anxiety pills before my dr. appts., that might be something you would like to consider. Feeling this way is normal, most of us go through it every dr. appt. Keep trusting your higher power, that faith got me through my treatment w/o any stress, or worries, I knew I had no control, so I left God do the driving. People do ask silly questions, I hate it when they asked me where I had it, before I was ready to talk about it. But most of them mean no harm, and are willing to help. The treatment was very painful, but I manaaged to get throught it full of hope. Take care and keep the faith!
