Struggling with the wait (like everyone else)

SMCD

I am waiting for biopsy results to rule out inflammatory breast cancer. My US was inconclusive and I choose to believe that is a positive thing. I've been oscillating between doing ok and totally flipping out. The biopsy site is a constant reminder, I'm nursing and the baby keeps trying to mess with my stitches, which is OUCH! Today I went shopping for the kids' easter baskets to take my mind off things and I had what I assume was a bit of an anxiety attack. I got dizzy and couldn't think and felt like I couldn't breath. I went and sat down in the starbucks and had some tea and I'm feeling a little better. I'm just realizing that the results won't get in until next week, and I've got the weekend to contend with.

Anyway, this is nothing new and I'm guessing every one of you on this forum feels this way right now. But it's been super hard to have this over my head while trying to work and parent three kids and keep the household running. I just want to curl up under my covers, you know?

I'm sending out comfort and prayers to everyone else on this forum in the same spot. I hope we all get results soon and that they are all wonderfully negative.

The waiting is tough, SMCD. I am hoping for B9 results for you.

It really is helpful to stick to one thread as no one who reads this one will have the back story and benefit from all of the feedback/questions you already got/answered.

oh I'm sorry I thought I was supposed to post things in the correct topical place.
