Waiting for results and scared

I know it sounds easy to say, but try not to worry... when I had my biopsy, they made an appointment there and then for me to see someone for my results after 5 days. If they're making you wait, maybe they don't think it's that bad. I'll keep my fongers crossed for you x

Hi Jai1970

Welcome to the forum and sorry to hear that you may have breast again. Hopefully the fact that they said that you'd have to wait two weeks for your appointment means that they are not too worried about the lump, 

Treatments for breast cancer have come on along way since you last had it.  As you no doubt know your medical team will do everything in their power to make you better.

Try to keep yourself busy doing the things that you love to help keep your mind off things. I find going for walks and reading help me when I'm feeling anxious about things.

Wishing you the best of luck with your appointment.

Best wishes

Hi Jai1970

I'm so sorry you find yourself in this position. It is a really scary time. As Daisy53 says, treatment has come a long way, and your clinical team will swing into action around you should the news be bad. They will take you through everything and will always be available for you to talk to should you need them. I am was diagnosed in September 2020 and have been blown away by the amazing service and support from the NHS and the clinical team looking after me. Please don't despair. If you are diagnosed with cancer you will not be left alone to struggle on. And keep using every support you can find, whether it's this community or any other charitable link such as Penny Brohn. 

Very best wishes and I'm thinking of you

Thank you. The waiting game is horrible isn’t it.

Thank you Daisy, yes I do need to keep busy and try to think of positive thoughts. When I was diagnosed 25 years ago it was a dark place, there was no internet then so I think it’s also bringing back those thoughts, this forum is really helpful and makes you feel not so alone.

Thank you so much for your reply. Yes I will make sure I interact with others if the worst happens and it’s nice to know there is a good support network out there.

It must have been awful for you when you were 25; that experience is bound to influence your expectations. There is such a community of support, advice and encouragement nowadays, that you don't ever have to feel alone again. x
