the longest wait while being petrified

the longest wait while being petrified

So on wednesday I went to see my gp about a skin spot I was finding to be quite suspicious and the news turned out to be not what I expected.
They want the spot surgically removed urgently as in tuesday unless others cancel and i can get in earlier. They want the whole thing and as it looks like its spreading already they want more than just the top taken off then if it comes back malignanat more tests to see how far its spread then removed those areas


the worrying part is i dont know how long its been there for and because ive noticed it change twice its a very bad sign. Unintentionally coming off her was fear. Fear from others makes me worse and she was sending off alot of that. She pointed out 2 other points that she noticed that are really not good and are often seen in skin cancers.

Im so scared and it seems like tuesday is taking forever to get here. Its really not easy to sit with and accept. Im bloody pertrified!

Re: the longest wait while being petrified

Well done @outlander for making it through. And you are right, it is the best outcome even with using that dreaded C word as Sans said. But the good thing is that they got it early and if they were really worried then they would have you back having another procedure straight away, like tomorrow.

You did well and you will get through this. You have so much support from people on here also ❤💖

Re: the longest wait while being petrified

I know this is thr best outcome for a bad thing but then saving those words. The c word. Still can't say it but its still really scary shite.
Im getting use to sutures yes.
I will ask for stronger pain relief thats for sure.
I dont know how many ill have this time but its going to be even more restrictive.

I asked the gp what i can and cant do in regards to gouse chores. And it comes down to not over stretching so vaccuming with the right arm and hanging and getting washing off the line. And dont lift anything heavy at all

Re: the longest wait while being petrified

@outlander I'm still here hun. Getting settled at the respite place. The two nurses here seem nice enough. I have a single bed by the window. Traffic is noisy, but I don't mind so much. I'm trying to make it a little homely, so I've brought my big, purple fluffy blanket. I'm super anxious too right now. No one here has said anything to me. I care but I don't care

Re: the longest wait while being petrified

I just read all the texts @outlander (Claire) I have to be honest, I am very upset & stunned about what you are going through. I suppose I have been trying to deal with all this very frightening body damage & debilitating pain & isolation of my own for 7 years here . I wish I could make things right for you, just like all your other Forum family would want too.
I stop visiting Forum when the pain gets too much for me. You know people in Forum better than I do, & visa versa. If my support helps you in any way I am here for you Claire, I had pre cancer 10 years ago, & I was an emotional mess at that time. The surgeon removed these cells with Laser as they were inside my cervix & I have for 10 years had yearly pap smears all showed clear.
Looks like to me that most of your Forum family have their own experience of dealing with "C" in some form.
We are here for you, & have a special care & understanding towards & for you.
Love,
Donna 🙂

Re: the longest wait while being petrified

Try to remain on the gratitude page for a little while @outlander ..... just breathe in that gratitude that they have caught it early, andbreathe out some of the anxiety with your outgoing breath ..... stop and look for something beautiful in the world around you ..... the sunlight lingering from on something .... open a window or door and smell fresh air .... look to the garden .... is anything flowering ?

Breathe in, and out again .... forget the house, the kids, everything for a few minutes and focus on your breathing .... feel the ground solid beneath your feet, your weigh on them, or if you're sitting, push your feet down into the floor .... feel it beneath your feet ....

Breathe in and out .... now stretch your spine up straight and stretch your head up as if there was a string in the top of your head pulling gently upwards ....

Breathe in ..... and out ......

Eyes closed for a minute, and imagine something that smells lovely .... perfume ... your favourite dinner .... the horses .... imagine their breathing and snorting, the stomp of a hoof on the ground .....

Breathe ...... you deserve a little of your own time, just to be ......

💜💐💕
