Awaiting diagnosis after lump found in breast. How do you cope with the wait?

Hi everyone- had my recall visit on my routine mammogram yesterday and was shocked to hear I have a small lump   Biopsy taken , back next week for results. How does everyone cope with the waiting ? 

  • Distraction mainly and talking any concerns through with people.  Also remembering most lumps aren't cancerous.  Even if the lump does turn out to be cancerous , the fact that it is small is very good news in terms of treatment and prognosis.    Hope that helps
