Distractions while waiting for biopsy results

Hi all,

for those who have had a biopsy, how the hell did you distract yourself while waiting for over a week?

I only had the biopsy yesterday and it's so hard to function. I have spent the entire day either in panic mode, which I quickly tell myself is silly because it COULD be nothing. But then when I allow myself to think it could be nothing, I start to think "what if" and feel like I need to be prepared. I have work, and a 2 year old daughter to look after and I already feel like I'm not in the room and it's only been a day.

I have BRCA and my mum died of breast cancer when I was 11. So I'm just reliving so much childhood trauma and struggling to keep positive, even though I'm not allowing my husband to see that. thanks

    I had biopsies yesterday too and feel exactly the same as you.I have hardly slept as my mind keeps wandering to the what if scenarios.I feel sick and cant face food at all. I have 3 children,11,13 and 15 and am trying hard to pretend everything is ok.I guess we have to keep busy and keep positive somehow.xxxx
