everything seems to be off for me whilst awaiting my biopsy result

Hello,

I recently had my one stop tests (Mammogram, ultrasound followed by an ultrasound guided biopsy). the Doctor who conducted the tests confirmed with me that my lump in the right breast is cancerous.

I was told to get my result and a consultation with the specialists probably about a week later. However, due to Christmas break, things have been delayed. I will probably have to wait for another week or so to get to talk to the specialists. 

As you can imagine, my anxiety level has been rocket high ever since the day of the tests. I have been having bone aches, poor sleeps, spotting and rectal bleeding. This morning, I woke up, noticing a vein on my neck is swollen.

Everything seems to go wrong for me in the past few days. I am not sure if all caused by my anxiety (probably inflammation) or cancer. I have no idea how quickly my cancer is spreading. With the festive season, it is hard to find any medical support atm. 

I am not sure if things will move faster if I seek private medical facilities. Sorry for being so hopeless. I really really wish to be stronger than I am right now, being more positive. but my personality and the circumstances I am in are pulling me to the opposite direction.

thanks,

Mo

    For sure. No one no thing can defeat us. I feel strong and powerful now to go into the battle, unlike a few weeks ago when I was in the dark

    That made me laugh!  All the best with the diving.  Being a marine scientist will be really cool, go for it.  

    My first target (after driving which I’ve been told I’ll be able to resume soon!) is riding my horse.  Am looking forward very much to that.  It is possible that I have been sneaking into the field to see them though I have been compliant and have someone else doing all the work until my shoulder is healed.  And I agree we won’t be defeated!

    Aha, that’s nice. I only see people riding, but have not yet tried myself. One more thing to put on my list. Yes, we have so many good people behind us and fight with us. The victory will be ours!

    The consultant doesn’t want me in the field in case I fall over or get kicked.  Not massively likely since my girls are well behaved and miss me and strangely enough I can stand upright!  They underestimate us tough ladies!

    Teehee, they are just being cautious. When I was asked if I have any questions about the surgery, my only question was can I swim tomorrow…Obviously not, but all I was thinking was swimming. How many horses do you have?

    That sounds very like me.  I had to stay in hospital for a few days and I kept telling them all the reasons why I needed to go home.  Not least to look after my animals. I have two ponies one is 25 and one is 11.  I too have a list of things I need to be getting on with, this is just a bit of a hiccup with normal life resuming soon.  I start physio to help with my shoulder and arm mobility on 20 Jan.  Looking forward to that.  My sling has been ditched (with permission) in the house.  Hopefully your swimming will resume soon too.
