And I totally understand your anxiety, the “what ifs” must be really challenging. Hugs to you both.</P><P>I went through a very similar situation a few years ago with my mum. I know it’s hard.</P><P>Please try to breathe and remind yourself that nothing is yet certain. Until there is evidence to the contrary, there is no reason not to believe that this cancer is treatable. Cancer can be beaten and there are many treatments available.</P><P>Perhaps it would help to pop in and see your GP to garner some strategies for managing your anxiety.</P><P>Hang in there, lovely.</P><P>Kind thoughts to you&nbsp;</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>&nbsp;</P> Thu, 29 Sep 2022 02:27:21 GMT https://forums.beyondblue.org.au/t5/anxiety/waiting-for-biopsy-results/m-p/548318#M47324 Summer Rose 2022-09-29T02:27:21Z
