Anyone faced or dealing with 'possible' cancer?

[Maniac]

Thanks for all the feedback guys. I'm not sure how I feel about all this. I have an appointment for a 'fundus' i.e. inside-eyeball-scan next week and I hope I can see the results before then waiting for the experts to see what happens next. I'll confess the alcohol consumption has risen in recent days... a lot!

I'm in the usual stage by stage thing and my current stage is the angry why me part.

My positive focus on all this, as sad as this sounds (albeit on the right type of forum) is that if my number is up... I'm buying a fecking big house and a fecking expensive exotic car and I'm going to enjoy every single day until I go dark!

Hi Maniac
a bit different to you some 30 years a go I had a bad accident at work got 26% 3rd degree burns died twice in intensive care .but got me going again
my hands were wrecked .arms and face a mess after loads of skin grafts .the consultants said I would never every work again let alone get any movement in my fingers and wrists.just having our first lad I could not give up .so I said up yours to the consultants went to hell and back but I won and I am still working today .its amazing what your mind can do stay positive it worked for me.
stay positive
all the very best Ian

Well done Shortfuse2. That is the solution I reckon.

If anyone tells you that 'you cant', or 'you wont', etc, then let that be the inspiration you need to prove them wrong.
At worst it will occupy you trying and stop you thinking about the other possibilities.

Must confess my alcohol consumption increased when I was in the same situation. My GP prescribed me Valium at that time, I found popping a pill when things got really tough (once every few days) got me through some bad times.

I'd love to jump on board with the whole positive mindset thing but at the risk of sounding a bit whatever my life has been nothing but a series of battles. Constant fights on numerous fronts and this comes at a time of work issues, tenant issues and more and tbh I really deserve a bit of a break!

Good luck Maniac, the waiting is the worst.

Hi Maniac. I've not had to deal with what you must be going through and I can only offer my sympathy. I would second the person who suggested not to start Googling it: the net is a mine of mis-information. I had a scare a few years ago, which turned out to be nothing, but after a few Google searches I'd practically convinced myself of the worst. I'm hoping that yours just turns out to be a scare as well, but in the meantime try not to let the little voice in your head make it worse...

I had to have an urgent scan 3 years ago to see whether I might have had a brain tumour as i had some worrying symptoms that came out of the blue. Saying it was a tough time is an understatement. Many of my friends gathered round me to help me through.
Good luck and wishing you all the best.
