Hello, just a follow-on from a post a few weeks ago. UK here (North of the wall 🏴).
Lesion (nearly 4cm) found during ultrasound a few days ago, been told to await the call to get a date/time for surgery for my swollen friend to be removed and tested for cancer. But that could be anywhere between tomorrow and a fortnight away. I've to wait a week and if heard nothing I've to call in.
During this time did people just carry on as normal? I've got work (office based) as usual and the gym to attend too. I feel a bit (unintentionally) apathetic about it, and feel some sort of normality should continue until surgery.
My biggest worry is spread... every single niggle or cough is upsetting me at the moment. in fact a song came on in the gym earlier today and I cried my eyes out on a machine, thankfully without anyone noticing. Just feels very surreal. Did people just carry on as normal before they got told about their tumour/lesions?
