Hi Sassylass,

Unfortunately, you are by no means the only one to feel like this. I know that it won't be of any consolation, but most of us feel like this when we're waiting for results. Don't worry about crying. A good cry is a great way to relieve stress. Your friends and family are trying their best - unless you've experienced this first hand, it is hard to know how to respond. Do you have someone other than your parents, who you can confide in and talk to? It really does help to be able to do this. It can also be helpful to talk to a counsellor about how you feel. Macmillan and other charities offer this service. There are also various charities, such as Maggies, who offer counselling and a number of other free services to help improve your mood, or simply to go and have a chat over a cuppa.

Don't look too far into the future just now. Take things one day at a time, or even one hour at at a time if need be. A two week wait for a biopsy result is usually pretty normal, although I can understand that this is another wait for you. Try to remind yourself that no amount of worry will change anything. I was in a terrible way when I was first diagnosed. I've now had 2 bouts of breast cancer. That was all 14 years ago and I still lead a busy and fulfilling life - I'm sure that you will too.

One other thing while you wait, try to keep busy, whether with work or pastimes. This helps the time to pass a little quicker.

Please keep in touch and let us know how you get on. We are always here for you.

Kind regards,

Jolamine xx

my oncologist emailed me on a Friday afternoon it was my hubbys 50 th birthday the day after I was so miserable and dreading the celebrations on the Saturday but god was with me on the Friday afternoon I had the email with the score , for the first time I actually cried my eyes out with happiness and opened a bottle drank all night had a party that night no hangover was running on good news lol x 

nut I could by chasing daily I was in control I’m ridiculous lol 

hopefully you will hear this week x 

How is your oncologist ? Approachable or strict I the way you contact them ?
