I've got my results appointment on Friday i had biopsies taken from two lumps found after my yearly routine mamogram it was a massive shock to say the least 

By Friday it will be three weeks since my biopsies and I feel like im loosing my mind waiting for my results appointment the first week I just felt really sad and kept bursting in to tears last week I was on annual holiday and felt ok went back to work yesterday and the shit really hit the fan for me I just felt so angry, everything and everyone was annoying me, my husband had some lovely family news and was rightly in a good mood which for some reason ground my gears so much I lost it with him his chirpiness just made me see red 

I feel like im falling apart and im loosing my mind I've only got two more days to work until my results but I dont know how im going to get through it I cant call in sick so I have to drag myself in if I cant even cope now What am I going to do if the results are bad just feel like crawling in to a corner and hiding

  • Welcome to the breast cancer forum  

    Sorry you find yourself here. As I said on your other post, it does get easier once you know what you are facing. I think most of us struggle whilst waiting for results. My metastatic cancer has been in remission since early 24, but I have a CT scan every 6 months and a difficult wait for results. It sounds very trite to say keep busy and try to keep a normal routine, but it does help. If you can at least distract yourself some of the time then the waiting period gradually gets eaten up. I always calculate how long it is to my appointment and what was I doing at the same interval before now. Each day you move forward in real time moves you forward two days in the history, if that makes sense. 

    I am not sure what your worst fears are, but the reality is rarely as bad as what the imagination conjures up.
