New to the cancer crew

My emotions and fear levels are fluctuating so fast I have confirmed breast cancer but still in the next queue to find out if it’s spread, my patience is terrible and the waiting is putting ants in my positivity pants - how does everyone cope when it’s still unknown? 

  • Hi Pethbelle,  I am sorry to hear you have been diagnosed with breast cancer.  You are in the worst place at the moment, the waiting room.  I am so impatient too and I  just wanted to know the full picture and get started with treatment.  I had lumpectomy, chemo and radiotherapy and then hormone tablets.  I think try and keep yourself busy as possible and keep to all your normal routines.  We all have different coping mechanisms .  There is no right or wrong way.  I think joining this forum is a big help.  We are all in the same boat just at different stages.  Good luck on your journey.  Here if you need to chat.
