Last night I found a lump in my breast saw the doctor this morning who has got me into a rapid response clinical for next Wednesday (11th) also my 9 year old twins birthday.....im due to have a hysterectomy on the 13th but this is now on hold until I get the results! I'm terrified of having bad news and how I will cope as I don't want to ruin their day but not sure I will be able to hold it together.The waiting is driving me crazy already and I can't stop all the terrible thoughts 😢

    Hi,

    Hang in there. The waiting is the worst part of this. I know no one wants to hear the "c" word at all. Your imagination can drive you crazy. I remember not being able to sleep with worry. This site has a lot of great information and a lot of people who can relate to whatever your outcome is. If you had not read through the main site it does have a lot of good information for you. I will keep good thoughts for you and hopefully you can enjoy your twins birthday! I'm sure they are a handful!

    thank you for replying....it's hard to talk to anyone. Everyone just says don't panic but it's impossible no to. It's comforting to know these are normal feelings :) x

    Hi Calks!

    I'm sorry to hear that you have been so distraught. I remember being very sad when I was waiting for my diagnosis. What I didn't realize then was that 1) if I had cancer, there was a good chance that I would be early stage; and 2) most women who are diagnosed at an early stage have a very good prognosis. But, there's also a good chance that your lump is benign! In short, you have no reason to expect the worst right now. Moreover, even if you have the Big C, chances are that it will be treatable and you'll be able to watch those twins grow up. ((Hugs))
