Such a shock

Waiting for results and information is probably the worst part of this whole process. Try not to second guess the results. Stay busy and try to distract yourself. Good luck.

I agree waiting for the results is the hardest part. I knew I had axillary node involvement from the off and I had two weeks to wait too. I’d been having gastro issue for well over a year and had decided myself that the two were probably related. They weren’t. All that worry,more for my daughter than me. I guess we’ve just got to try and remember that yes we have breast cancer but we can be ill with other things too and stuff doesn’t have to be related. You honestly can drive yourself mad with what ifs. Funnily enough a close friend was diagnosed 6 weeks before me so we also felt shocked that could happen but we’ve been a great comfort to each other so I hope you have the same experience. You will volunteer with those elephants again, and try to stay involved in whatever way you can, keep your elephant heart beating! Good luck and know we all feel similarly x

Hi Elephant Lady

Welcome to the forum and sorry to hear that you have been diagnosed with breast cancer. Breast cancer is very treatable these days and your medical team will do everything in their power to make sure you get better. Waiting for results is hard but once you get those and a plan is put in place you should start to feel better about things.

Wishing you the best of luck with whatever treatments your medical team put you on.

Best wishes

Thank you so much. I've been far less emotional today.

Thank you. I think this forum will  be really helpful. 

Thank you. I'm  learning not to panic so much. Though know there will be low points 

We all panic occasionally and all have low points, keep talking, we’ll keep laughing where we can and we can bolster each other, so pleased you’re having a better day. I’m sat here farting for England!! Chemo yesterday, just as well I’m single!!!

Aww that made me laugh.  We certainly  need a sense of humour at this time.
