Hi.  I am going through the same process right now so I know just how you feel.  I only had my biopsy yesterday and have ten days to wait.

I was awake again at 2.30 and by 5 was ready for a walk.  I was out for 3 hours and it did help.  Because I have kidney disease as well I can't take a tablet to knock me out.  I wish I could.

Putting some upbeat music on could help.  Music does cheer me up and it helps me get stuck into sorting out cupboards and drawers.  Still sore from the biopsy but I'll get moving in a couple of days.  I've had a couple of important letters to write this afternoon which passed some time.

I suppose puzzles and colouring books would be calming .  I know I can't concentrate on television or reading right now.

My son took me yesterday and picked me up but he has been very cool to me   He didn't ask me if I needed anything and just said to keep in touch.  That has upset me more than anything but I don't think he can handle unpleasant things.

Wish I could be of more help but can't really think clearly right now   I'm hoping that these sleepless nights will pass and the body will take over and make me sleep.  It certainly is a worrying time but that appointment wil come.  Wishing you well.

Hello, I was diagnosed with breast cancer back in June. I tried to keep busy mostly cleaning and going for walks, (short burst activities as unable to focus) Im lucky to have children to distract me.

I kind of knew to expect bad news thou my consoltant was very clear on what she could see! Was still a huge shock thou. 

I've resently gone trou a lumpempty and node removal and now have been waiting 13 days on the results to see how much further my cancer has spread and what treatments are next. I'm going out of my mind as I have to rest to heal. Ive been on line shopping a lot! mostly window shopping. I hope it's a clear result for you xx

Hi sorry you aren't sleeping I am the same

i was at dr two weeks ago with a slightly red area around right areola she was not concerned and looked and felt breasts and felt nothing so that did ease anxiety a bit but I am a worrier am constantly checking  breasts and put on different lights and am sure can see white lines and ridges now and have pain in hip n lower back but winded is this alll with my constant worrying and not sleeping 

what were your symptoms 

I can empathise with this and send support

i hope you can find some mental rest at this crazy time

Like you,I have been confirmed and am waiting to find out if lumpectomy or single or double mastectomy

We are still here today let's live it to the best we can

Hi, I found a lump in my right breast is why I took trip to doctors.

Since than I have noticed I've been extremely exhausted all the time! (Before lockdown put it down to being busy,  but continued even thou I'd halfed my work load when schools closed.) I Also have a rash around both arolas.

I also couldn't stop cheaking, even now every little thing I'm googling!

But in all honesty I don't feel ill, im covered in hives due to stress as well.

I get my results later today of my llumpemty find out what's next? Gonna try and keep my self busy and try not to think to much I'm my own worse enemy! Im also an over thinker.

Hi

thamk you for replying

i should maybe try and stop checking constantly and like you googling but I do over think 

I also should of had a mammogram - 1st one on 2 April but because of covid this was cancelled and haven't heard of another app 

Hello, Thank you for you're kind words xx

It's taken a good few weeks for the news to start sinking in, Having the lumpectomy has made it real.

Hopefully you don't have long to wait for a treatment plan. 

At the moment in limbo, hopefully after today I can make some plans would like a few days away with my children and husband thinking a change of scene will do us all good. 

I hope you get your mammogram soon
