Waiting for results - extremely anxious

Offline Gilbo1979 over 5 years ago

Hi all, after finding a breast lump I went for my appointment on Wednesday and they told me after the mammogram u/s and biopsies that it's highly likely I will hear I have cancer when I get my results. I'm just imagining the absolute worst case scenarios all the time and I'm becoming convinced that the cancer is all over my body and that every cough or headache is a symptom. The scan on my lymph nodes looks clear so I'm trying to cling to the that but I keep getting myself in a state of terror. Is this reaction how most people feel? I don't know how I can last another week waiting.

thanks for listening

Hello Gayle
As someone who is coming out the other side now of my cancer journey, I understand what you have posted completely. I too had the same scans as you and went onto have biopsies. My doctor said 'what ever it is we can deal with it.' I knew I had cancer then. I didn't have to wait the 2 weeks to be told.
Although my treatment does not finish until Nov ( as diagnosed Aug last year) I am using this coronavirus time to recover and to seek out peoples posts on here that are similar to my experience in hope to help.
This forum has private messaging like that on facebook. If you click on my user name, add me as a friend, I would be more than willing to talk to you as much or as little as you like.
