Feeling scared

HI. I've definitely got similar feelings myself, having being diagnosed with TNBC in October last year. I've decided to get the genetic testing done, and my biggest fear is a positive result that I then have to share with my parents and my sister, who has 2 girls.

I'm trying really hard, when those feelings start to overwhelm me, to focus on the positive..... That it is statistically more likely that I DON'T carry the gene, while also trying to think practically and proactively about the possibility that I DO carry it.... We have access to great healthcare,  there are preventative options available for my family members, which many woman have been through and come out healthy and strong on the other side.

I also don't allow myself to think about it too much as there is nothing at all more I can do until the results come back and I can take the next steps then if steps are necessary at all. Best thing to do is keep busy, do things that occupy your mind and body and make you feel good about yourself. And remember, your sister will most probably be feeling lost, hopeless, scared at times too, so being there for each other and taking about your feelings, crying and  laughing together may be the best therapy for both of you x
