What should I expect while waiting for bone biopsy results after cancer?

I’m waiting for bone biopsy results after 4 years NED a lesion was found on my pelvis in what was supposed to be my last PET scan. It felt like a gut punch , but I am not surprised as I was stage 3c Cervical cancer with abdominal lymph node involvement. I just feel sad. I was starting to feel safe .

The waiting period for biopsy results can feel incredibly difficult, especially when it comes during what was expected to be a milestone moment. Those feelings of sadness and lost safety are completely understandable after experiencing such an unexpected turn. While waiting times can vary depending on the specific tests being performed and the lab processing the samples, many people find it helpful to focus on one day at a time and lean on their support system during this uncertain period.

I was Stage 3 cervical cancer and had been cancer "free" for almost 2 yrs. Now, have rare spread to lymph node in neck. Getting ready to start chemo + immunotherapy so 4 drugs once weekly but some may not be every week. So just have to go forward & keep on keeping on! Good luck to you & everyone going through this 🙏

Sorry to hear that Christine! It’s such a roller coaster ride! My friend went in for his last check after treatment for lymphoma after 10 years clear to get news of changes in his bone marrow again! Ugh!!!

Focus on one day at a time. Stay upbeat and just be happy with life while you still have it. We aren't the only ones dying. Everyone dies until the Lord returns 🙏 then all believers that have passed get resurrected.
