Welcome to our forum, although I'm sorry for the reason that has brought you here. Waiting for results is one of the hardest parts of anyone's cancer journey. There are so many unknowns at this stage and we all seem to persuade ourselves that we have the worst possible outlook. Fortunately, this is seldom the case.
I have had 2 bouts of breast cancer in the past 9 years, so I can fully understand how stressed you feel at present. you have had a longer wait than usual for your results because of the Christmas holiday. It is a scary time,but do your best not to consult Dr Google, as you will only end up scaring yourself, by reading information which is poorly reearched or out of date. The advice that is usually given is to keep yourself as busy as possible with pleasanter pursuits. This shouldn't be hard at this time of year.
If it is of any consolation to you, it gets easier to deal with your diagnosis, once you start treatment. Can you bring someone along with you to your next visit. It is always a good idea to bring someone with you to your appointments. It is also advisable to draw up a list of questions for your consultant before each appointment.
I hope that all goes well for you on 9th January. Please let us know how you get on. We are always here for you.
