Hi Hawkster

i haven't been diagnosed yet but my mammogram and ultrasound indicate malignancy (M5/U5). Hopefully will get results on 9th. Should have been today but put back a week due to staff sickness. Since I found the lump almost 5 weeks ago, I've been all over the place. Sometimes I feel calm and other times I imagine the worst and get really fearful. I think that's perfectly normal. I've found it really helps to do anything that will distract me (spend time with family and friends, watch tv, work, housework, etc). I've also found prayer helps me and singing my favourite hymns, but I appreciate this may not be for you. My family are praying for me too. I keep telling myself a BC diagnosis is not necessarily a death sentence. There are so many treatments and options, and I know several people who have been treated successfully. I don't know if this helps, but know that you are not alone. Call the helpline here if you need someone to talk to. 
wishing you all the best xx

Thank you, Hawkster. I'm so pleased I found this forum. Feeling alone is the worst feeling so it's comforting to know there are others on the same sea, if not the same boat.
