Hello, I'm not normally a joiner but well things aren't normal.
A few weeks ago I found a lump in my breast. At first I thought it was just because I was on my period but when it was still there a week later I went to gp who confirmed it wasn't my imagination and sent me for tests. Initial results are 99% certain to be cancer. I have to go for biopsy results at the end of next week.
Not great but here's the rub. My husband of 5 1/2 months is in the military and is currently on deploment in Iraq, been there since early January (Yes 5 months ago). He is due home for his 10 day break in a couple of days so I haven't requested him home and I can't worry him when he needs to concentrate on what he's doing. Welfare have been told but have everything on hold until we've got the biopsy results.
My major problem is how/when I tell my husband. I don't want it to be the first thing he hears when he gets home but he's going to see the bruising etc from the biopsy as soon as we go to bed. I really hoping that someone has some sort of experience of this situation and can guild me! All and any advice gratefully received!
