Waiting for treatment plan

Hi there, I’ve been awake since 4 am . I’m waiting for my treatment plan too . 4 rounds of chemotherapy then mastectomy single or double . I’ve found taking a blue packet nytol works ( when I remember to take ) Dr prescribed me some sleeping tablets but it said they were highly addictive so I returned them . 
I think it’s natural to google everything and for armed is  for warned . I feel more in control and less in shock now I’ve accepted everything. Very scary times but has to be got through . Sending love and calming thoughts 

Thanks. Yes it’s the lack of control that’s terrifying. I’m fairly certain I’m also looking at chemo and mastectomy. Five more days until I know. I don’t think my cancer is curable but that’s all from Internet searches. 

Hi BLFHOd3a1c the waiting is the worst isn't it?  I felt I just needed the treatment plan so I could get on with it.  When is your oncology appointment and why do you think your cancer is not curable?  You need to wait for the facts so I do hope you are wrong.  Good luck.

I’ve been googling too much. Appointment on Thursday to find out biopsy results. CT scan before then. I’ve got an appointment with my GP later so hoping I might get some meds to help with the extreme anxiety and insomnia. 

Hi I also needed sleeping tablets because at night my mind went into overdrive and I couldn't switch it off.  Are you taking someone with you, I took my husband because he remembered stuff that I didn't.?  I felt more in control when I had my treatment plan and just wanted to get on with it and get rid of the cancer.  Good luck for Thursday and your CT scan.

I found that blue nytol helped me relax and sleep . X 

I was diagnosed 2021. Had mastectomy, found to be her2….lymph node positive. Every appointment seemed to get worse. I went from ok we can sort this quickly to ok we need to have a bone scan and ct scan. 
I remember the sleepless night and terror waiting for result.

my CT and bone scans were negative. I had x6 TCHP then Phesgo injections for the year.

The stage you are at now is the worst. When you have all the info and start a treatment plan you concentrate on getting through that and it seems to go on for ages but you do get out the other side and life turns back to a sort of normal. xx

Hi im in a similar position. Had surgery for recurrence in my reconstruction grade 2 but dont know stage yet. That was just over 2 weeks ago. Ive got results/plan appointment on Thursday also. I cant sleep. Im just watching rubbish on telly all night to stop me googling/thinking. Ive got Zopiclone from GP to take if im desperate for sleep. Its worth having something as a back up just dont get into the habit of taking one every night. Good luck with your results xx

I so relate to this - it is just hell waiting for diagnosis and treatment plan. I got severely anxious and depressed during this period and went to my GP. She prescribed Sertraline (anti-depressant) and it's been really helpful - takes a couple of weeks to kick in though.
