im having a complete meltdown about my appointment tomorrow....I'm petrified I'm going to be told it's advanced cc and that nothing can be done for me.....my last appointment my consultant couldnt confirm staging until MRI scans had been done, although on her notes I could see 1b but like I said she wouldn't confirm......my head feels as though it's going to explode it's in overdrive thinking all sorts and I'm so scared.....I just keep thinking i only have months to live and I'm devastated!!!
It is completely understandable that you feel like this - we all have been there! Its horrible...definitely the worst part of this experience. Please try to stay positive though. This time tomorrow Kelly, you will know everything....your staging and your treatment plan. Melanie - in 48 hours, you will be exactly the same. You have gotten the last couple of weeks of waiting...not long left now. We all completely understand the panic and the dark thoughts. Please, please, please do not use google. Google is not your friend right now. Google gives you the worst case scenerio and alot of the time it is NOT factual information.
We are all rooting for you. When I received my staging, there was another lady on here who received her staging the same week. I found it strangely comforting that there was someone out there who knew exactly how I felt at that time.
It's very rare that staging changes much between initial assessment and scan results. These doctors are very experienced and they know their stuff. A lot more than Google does! If it looks like a 1b it's extraordinary unlikely to be upgraded to, say, a 3.
This is a VERY curable disease. Please try not to stress yourselves too much over it.
