I'm not in your position hollyboo so it would be thoughtless of me to tell you not to worry. You're bound to worry and September seems miles away - but it isn't - the weeks are flying by lately ! So let's concentrate on the positive because the last scan showed the tumour had shrunk from 8ml to 6ml. And if it has stayed the same, well they'll deal with it. Sending you lots and lots of love, stay strong sweetheart, Sheila xx

I am currently sat in the waiting room, waiting for my first set of results since SABR after a 3 month wait. You will have to learn to be patient, you are lucky to have work to distract you from the thoughts. You will have lots more waiting periods to go yet. It is not easy with all the waiting but that is the name of the game unfortunately and nothing you or I can do to change it.

Hi I know how hard the waiting can be and can only suggest you push the worries to one side and try to get on with life and daily activities as best you can. September will come whether you spend this month worrying or not...

Lots of love and fingers crossed for you 🙏❤

I agree with 2 greys. My husband had sabr treatment last July, since then he has had 2 scans the first showed a decrease in size, the second unable to tell because he had a lot of scar tissue. He is due for another scan in December. I believe that he will have two scans for quite a while yet. Surgery was out of the question as was chemo, SABR for us has been great and we are not going to let it rule our lives. Worry does nothing at all please try and enjoy your everyday life. Do not let this cancer rule your life. x

Just try concentrating on today, and the work you have to do, and all the other things that crop up, like a friend sharing something, or a great donut, or whatever. Have a look at some of the mindfulness videos Hacienda posts.
