Honestly the 10 days I waited for my results seemed so long and I think I went through every emotion available. My GP was sure it wasn't breast cancer but my consultant was sure it was. (It was and I'm currently going through treatment). The thing to remember is that whatever happens you can't change it but you do have the power to own how you chose to deal with it.   Tell people, share how you feel , most people will be remarkably supportive. 

I was in your situation October last year. The results were positive. By the end of November, I'd had the lump removed and lymph nodes from under my right arm. I've not long finished a course of Radiotherapy.  I'm also having to take a hormone tablet every day for the next 5 years. It's not going to be easy...for any of us in this situation. I feel numb about having cancer, even though my oncologist has told me that they removed it all! I still haven't cried over the findings and diagnosis even yet. I wish I could, but feel I have to be strong for my husband, daughter and granddaughter. I was offered counselling and I've taken it. Just take each day as it comes. Surround yourself with support if you are able to. Unfortunately,  my husband hasn't shown much but my daughter has been my rock. If you are offered counselling after your operation, I would consider taking it. It IS scary but you're not alone. Good luck with your diagnosis and operation etc. Fingers crossed for you. Sending hugs. 

Thank you so much for this. 

Thank you. I’m trying to keep busy at work and hoping for the best. I’m hoping that as I haven’t been called back earlier it might be okay news.
