HI
I’m a mum of two children (4 and 8ths). Just had my breast clinic appointment and they are pretty confident the lump I found is cancer. I’m now in that horrible time of waiting for my biopsy results so they can confirm and then plan. I am just so scared and devastated for my children. I have my fingers crossed it is just still in the breast and is treatable. Sorry, this is more of a share than anything as I just want to reach out to anyone who has/ experiencing similar.
Hi there I know this is an awful time I was really scared it's awaiting game I know I have her2 positive in breast and one lymph node stage 2 I was worried it had gone round my body I had body and bone scan luckily all clear make sure you take someone with you as its hard to take every thing in wishing you all the best stay positive x
Hi. Honestly, I found the waiting one of the hardest things to deal with; all sorts of things go round and round your head. Once there was a plan in place I felt more in control. There's always someone here to chat to - we've all felt scared and understand your fears.
Best wishes.
The waiting is awful. Not knowing how bad it is and of course foolishly reading things online! It’s so scary.
