Hello, 

I had a biopsy taken from high in breast and from a lymph node in my armpit on Thursday. The dr said he couldn't tell for definite that it was cancer, or that it definitely wasn't either. I have the results on Tuesday and I am very afraid. My sister passed away from breast cancer just iver 2 years ago, and my paternal grandmother and aunt have also had breast cancer. My dad has had kidney and liver cancer and my mam has stagge 4 lung cancer. I know im at a greater risk if a positive result but I am trying so hard to stay positive. How do people cope with the waiting and not knowing? No matter how busy I am during thr day, my brain doesn't switch off at night. 

  • Hi  i had a different cancer but i can relate to what you are feeling. You are at the worst stage in a way at the moment all the waiting really messes with your head. I did meditating and breathing exercises in bed until i fell asleep i found it kept my mind concentrating on something else, plus im not gonna lie sometimes i would just cry myself to sleep. Sending hugs. Xx
