My 1st post. I found a lump. Ended up having 2 biopsies in each breast and 1 in a lymph node.

Dr said he couldn't reasure me, when I asked what else it could be. Said was worrying as lymph node. So I asked do I need to worry n said yes. Nurse said they scale 0 to 5 5 being cancer and I am a 4.

Said meeting of drs will be Tuesday. I thought she said I would also get meeting Tuesday...took my number but not heard.

My son is 17 and I am holdingbit together for him but getting harder. My 2 close friends are on holiday and days seem so long. I am a counsellor, just doung a coupke a day..don't want to take on new clients. Im just paused.

Try not to worry too much until you know what has happened. It would be very unusual to be contacted on the same day the doctors meet to discuss cases. in my case they met on a Wednesday and then arranged appointments for the following Monday after they had decided possible courses of treatment and could get the cancer nurses organised etc if needed.

My son was 12 when I found out I had cancer and he took it pretty well. It hit him hard but knowing what it was and what the next steps were helped him. There was also some great advice on this site about how to talk to your children about cancer.

This site is always a good one to talk with people who have been there and done that. Waiting is the worst and is also something you get used to.

I hope you hear something soon.
