Found a lump on my right breast end of Jan 2022,had mammogram, ultra sound, needle biopsy 9th Feb. Getting results in 2 days. Mum passed from ovarian cancer in 2019,sadly had breast cancer in her 40s as well. I work in mental health, but I'm so so worried I've not been sleeping, eating good. A friend is coming with me Friday. I've written a note for the doctor incase it's bad news. What I want done etc, not sure how I'll sleep tonite or tomorrow night. I do meditate&have a crystal collection. I'm so restless today. Any advice please, very worried mum of 2,and nan of 2.

    I don't have much advice but just wanted to lend some support for your upcoming appointment. Try to rest even if you can't sleep, and you might find that listening to an audiobook or the radio or BBC Sounds helps your mind not to go to places of worry. Try to have a gentle walk or swim today, eat something you enjoy that is nutritious, and keep busy. And plan a treat for yourself for after the appointment. I'm waiting on some results and a plan of action depending what it is, isn't or might be, too. No follow-up appointment yet. It's horrid isn't it?

    Hi thank you so much for taking the time to reply to my message,it means a lot.I actually have a website i make bespoke cup candles,container candles,jewllery.i have been amking up customer orders etc.I have spent time in my kitchen a lot today currently have a crystal infused candle burning.I found my crystals bring me a lot of relaxation&im goping some healing luck.What i find so hard is the long wait,you get the idea in your mind oh maybe its good news to be waitning this long.Then i have the niggle telling me its not good its taking this long.

    I have tried to remain positive,i have also written down a list of questions for the doctor,stating what treatment i want etc if shes about to deliver me bad news.My friend will hand this to the doctor should i have to leave the room.With my own mum passing from ovarian cancer almost 3yrs in may,i have a lot of experience around cancer.my sister and i did all of mums palliative care as she wanted to pass at home.My working in mental health has helped me a little,but nothing can prepare me for tomorrow,on the good side i am having my grandsons over night tomorrow.My daughter is off to o2 to see ub40.She feels guilty having to even of asked me,but ive told her it may be what i need,i wont have time to sit around and think too much if its bad news.Either way ill have lots of cuddles,popcorn.What results are you awaiting on??I will drop you a message some time tomorrow my appt is 11.15am,take care Denise.x

    Today's the day so fingers crossed for you. Sounds as though looking after the children will be a good thing, definitely, whatever the news is! And writing it all down and taking a friend, very wise.
