I too was diagnosed 3 days ago, but I think my response is odd as I haven't felt anxious at all, my university friend has also been diagnosed recently and she wasn't sleeping or eating whilst waiting for her biopsy results. What I was thinking was that it was ironic that it was 4 years almost to the day that my husband was diagnosed with oesophageal cancer, I'm not sure whether I was using that to block my thoughts? 

My friend and I are obviously comparing our treatment - despite living only about a mile apart we are going to different hospitals, she seems to be getting more written information than me, ie she got a 5 page letter detailing her results and explaining what would happen next. I haven't had anything like that, in fact, the consultant spoke with a heavy accent and we (my daughter and sister came with me to the appointment) had trouble understanding exactly what he was saying. I do have an appointment on Tuesday, I hope I'll get more information then? My friend is having a mastectomy on 12th May, hopefully I'll be told a date on Tuesday?
