Hi Pax
Sorry to hear that your results aren't back yet and that your meeting with the oncologist has been put back. Did you mention the breathlessness to your breast care nurse? If not I would ring them and they will be able to advise on what to do about it.
Hope things improve for you soon.
Best wishes

It could be anxiety. I had it, amd terrible shoulder pain waiting on my results, which vanished within days. Fingers crossed:)
