I found a lump a couple of weeks ago, I left it. I went to GP last week only because I noticed it was getting bigger. She said she would refer me to hospital for a check up and it was nothing to worry about. I was expecting a letter with an appointment sometime.
Yesterday I got a call at 1.30 asking me to go into hospital for 2.15pm. It was a whirlwind afternoon. I was examined, scanned, mammographed and had a biopsy taken. I was rushed from one dept to another. In the end a Doctor sat me down and confirm I had breast cancer. It knocked the wind out of me. All I could think about is my three beautiful daughters. It was the last thing I was expecting. I’m now booked in on Tuesday for MRI scan to check the rest of my body, back on Wednesday for biopsy result to say what grade it is and my treatment plan. My emotions are everywhere. How do you cope? How do you keep a brave face on for your children? I’m not telling them anything unless I have to. It’s so hard not to imagine the worst. I have until Tuesday until I’m back, best tips to keep my mind occupied? Help x
