worried
hello everyone, im not really sure what im after. advice.. support...guidance.....
im a carer for my pop and has had to have a test done that was orginally thought a thyroid problem as hes had those in the past but since then have discovered a lump on his pancreas so hes jsut had one of those ct things where the dyes injected and now just awaiting results. and then he went to the drs today and now they want to do a lung biopsy. hes not too worried about it but im doing enough worrying for both of us and more.

Re: worried
@Shaz51 it is seriously stressing me out alot. hes had the first lot of tests and then now this is the second lot of tests.
its making me physically sick. this is jsut as bad the waiting game as it was for myself when i went through treatments and tests. i dont want him to have to go through what i had to.
i hope your mum is ok too, hopefully shes just feeling under the weather and its not coming back hey

Re: worried
When Mr D has longer appts that don't require my presence, I ensure they have contact details and enjoy a coffee in the café with a good magazine (or sometimes meet a friend or carer support person). That is what I plan on doing when Mr D has his surgery next week.

Re: worried

its in a city setting @Faith-and-Hope so maybe i can have my phone on a louder ringing setting, give all my details to the nurses and be close by but not in the hosupital setting...

Re: worried
Stay nearby, with phone on loud, might be nice to do some window shopping ...
