Comfort in numbers

Hi, I'm on a steep learning curve..... Since last Friday I'm on the 2WW (male, late 50's, breast lump) and feeling scared as... I came across the forum while here at work, as trying to work is a bit pointless. I was genuinely comforted, and maybe a bit tearful,  to read peoples posts that described them feeling exactly as I do. So i'm normal...

  • Hello! Yes, completely normal! I had a week to wait after a recall following a routine mammogram and then twelve days wait after that for results. Couldn't focus on anything - all over the place. Weeping, staring into space, wide awake at 3am, no appetite. You've got a few days of waiting under your belt now so well done! I felt so much better when I got to the clinic as I felt something was being done. Best of luck with it. 

  • Thank you, reading this forum is helping a great deal, I'm worried, I'm normal, and so is everyone else. Its a steep learning curve that I hope is all unnecessary, either way, i'm a bit wiser too.
