Hi all, just saying my first hello. Tomorrow is my D-Day, and results are in at 4pm.

it feels like an out of body experience at the moment, I’m detached from the emotions I always imagined I would have if this ever happened to me, and no tears have been shed yet.

My mother died from BC when she was my age now. And so here I am at 58, and with 3 younger sisters waiting to hear my news.

I’m a pretty practical person, and have thought things through, but am already a full time carer for my husband, so I’m really very unsure what will happen to him if I need time out from caring. I’m also self employed, so the prospect of no income for a while is also a worry.
Wish me luck!

Hope all goes well for you.

Caring for your husband and being self employed is a tremendous stress when you are not clear about your future.I If things go pear-shaped and you need extra support for your husband etc. I'm pretty sure there are things available - perhaps talk to your breast care nurses in the first instance, or contact the Macmillan helpline xx
