Hello..I am now 4 days post finding out I have breast cancer. A total shock as like everyone else must feel I never imagined it would happen to me.I go back on Thursday to discuss treatment but I am non the wiser at the mo just how bad things are.This limbo state of not knowing and waiting for results is so difficult.I go from feeling positive to thinking I'm going to die soon.Sorry to vent but having read most of the posts on here I feel that I'm amongst people who can relate exactly to what I'm feeling.Wishing you all well xx

  • Hi. I am going for my biopsy results tomorrow. I have been in shock since the appointment. I think everyone here experiences that numb feeling. It the unknown. You are not alone on this journey. x

  • Hi  and welcome to the forum. Sorry you find yourself here, but hopefully you’ll find there’s lots of support and shared experiences. Think we’d all relate to the tortuous ness of the limbo stage. Planning our own funerals, imagining the direst scenarios. But hey we’re still here!! I’m more than 3 years down the line now, and can definitely say that it all became ‘easier’ once I knew what I was dealing with. So if you can drag yourself through this horrible stage where nothing is definite, you’ll get to the point where you know what treatments you’re facing and can plan around them. Keep posting, it’s a great place to rant and rave if that’s what you need, or sometimes just writing your thoughts to people who ‘get it’ is enough in itself. Sending love and some big virtual hugs to you and to , let us know when you have your results. HFxx

  • Thankyou...Wishing you all the very best for tomorrow xx

  • Hello..thankyou so much for this reply xx

  • Waiting is the absolute worst. Had my op, got results. Now waiting to see Oncologist Monday 21st Feb to discuss treatment plan. No idea how I'll feel then, difficult to comprehend. 

  • Apug, I have been thinking of you. Hope the biopsy results were good news.

    Notts67, the waiting is really horrible. I tried to keep busy with work and watching a lot of netflix! I hope all goes well for you on Thursday. We are all here to help and support. I have found the support from the group amazing!

    Hi, I get my biopsy results tomorrow, the wait is the worse and it's all so surreal, I do feel whatever the results today is my last day of my normal....wishing you all the best with your treatment. I think this forum is going to be a life saver for me xxxxx

  • Best of luck for tomorrow Bexter. Try to think of tomorrow, whatever the results, as being your new normal rather than anything scary or horrible. You will deal with whatever comes your way and you will cope because you are strong. 

  • Hi I think we can relate to you very much 

    The state of limbo is awful and your mind goes wild 

    I think I am still in shock mixed with hysteria  , if you’ve seen any of my posts you will see that I’m just not coping well at all 

    Sending you a massive hug 

    love L xx

  • Good luck lovely 

    I get CT results tomorrow so I understand your nerves 

    big hugs 

    love L xx
