Take it a day at a time.Ask everyone on this site if you want to know anything,we might not know everything but we'll try to help!Ask your GP to explain everything again,ask for a double appointment so you have a bit more time to take it all in.concentrate on what you have got ,not what you might have.

Take care x

Hi Babyboo. Yes I agree take it a day at a time. Don't go worrying about something that may never happen. Remember that there is lots of useful info on the website and also we are hear to listen and support you.

Hi i would go back to your GP and take someone with you who can listen maybe even take notes of what is said. hopefully the test dates come thro really quickly and you are given info on the best treatment , warm hugs x

Hi babyboo, I agree with all that has been said above. A double appointment with your GP is essential and do take somebody with you. Sometimes doctors assume we know more than we do and it is what we don't know that can scare us most. Ask the doctor to go through your results slowly explaining what support, medications and options will be open to you at each stage. If you are not clear, insist they explain again so that you do. My GP sometimes draws diagrams or finds pictures on their computer to explain things to me. I think I understand things better when they are explained like that.

Good luck and be sure to keep in touch with us here so that we can support you too. Jane x
