Scared in Sheffield

Hello.

ive recently been told it is highly lightly I have breast cancer after I had 6 biopsies taken after a mammogram .. 

I had lumpy breasts but the GP assured me it was menopausal ..

I am very scared it’s now too late and it’s all spread . I have to wait 10days for the staging / treatment meeting . 

I have a very lovely husband and 3 girls all with special needs and I am just terrified at the thought of leaving them. Also my own mother who is 90..

not sure what I’m hoping for just some suggestions as to how to get through the next 10 days which are school holidays and being upbeat for the girls even though I feel I’ve falling into a heap and can’t seem to focus on even the simplest tasks like washing and cooking..and I can’t sleep!! Just lie awake imagining my own death.

  • Hi CharlyKaye, I'm sorry to hear you're having such a stressful time waiting for results. The not knowing is just terrible. I was so stressed waiting for my results last year and slept on and off only for about three hours a night. I felt awful - aches and pains everywhere and mind all over the place.

    I hope you manage to get some time off worrying over the school holidays. I have a child with special needs and he kept me busy, which was actually a good thing but I still had times of bursting into tears and just wanting to hide in a corner.

    All the best for the results - it really helps to know if and/or what you are dealing with xx
