Feel so scared

Hi,

I don't know what I'm even hoping for here but I'm so scared and thought this forum might help me. I had my appointment at breast clinic yesterday and I had stupidly told myself that all would be well. It was the complete opposite :(

After mammagram, ultrasound and a few biopsies I have been told I definitely have breast cancer and they will phone me before Friday to tell me what is going on. I have an appointment next Monday as a follow up. I feel sick and so worried. I'm 40 and a single Mum of a fab teenage boy. I haven't told him yet as want to see what I'm dealing with first.

They biopsied 2 lymph nodes too and that is freaking me out. Anyone able to calm me down?

Sending love and strength to you all x
