Wow everyone thankyou! Such amazing love and support. I’m so very grateful to each and every one of you who have taken the time to respond. I find the evening is my calm time as I’ve managed to rationalise things throughout the day. In the morning I’m not quite so rational. This forum has been so helpful in helping me know I’m not alone. There are so many wonderful people out there kicking cancer’s ass! 

Hi, Im am the same age and have a boy similar age and an older girl.  I was diagnosed last year and can really identify with how you are feeling right now.  Try not to let your mind wander until you get results. Waiting for scan/ biopsy results I found the worst time.  I learnt to look at ‘what I knew ‘ rather than all the ‘whats ifs’ as I could spend time worrying about something that wasn’t going to happen.  Hopefully when you get full results it will make you feel less scared.  All on here have helped with their calming words and advice.  Try to find some nice distractions to pass the time until appointments if you can.

Hi Dollydimple, how further.forward are you now with your treatment plan?x

Still waiting , got first onco appointment next Tuesday and then mri on weds 

should be chemo first then I’m hoping they can still do the mastectomy

It seems like it’s taking forever  

How you doing with the chemo ?

Ah sorry you’ve felt so crappy but glad you’re feeling a bit better today and yay for 1 to go !

Thank you 

My anxiety getting bad at times , brain working overtime !

The waiting is awful isn’t it? I’m hugely mithered about it all. It already took five weeks for me to see anyone after my referral from the GP. Now I’ve been diagnosed I just want to get on with it.It’s the waiting and not having full knowledge and understanding which makes me resort to Google. At the moment I’m just frightened of what’s going on inside me. I just can’t look at myself in the mirror. I want it gone. I’m sorry ladies…it’s early morning when all my irrational thoughts take over. My Mum is coming to stay today so I’m glad for that. She was diagnosed with breast cancer 5 years ago and is doing well.
