The wait for test results is Hell on earth

My lovely mum who is in her 50s recently found a lump in her breast and changes to her nipple. She did the right thing and went to her GP who then referred her for a mammogram, etc. She was there on Monday with her partner and essentially, the consultant doesn't like the look of what is going on in her breast and in her lymph nodes. We're now playing the waiting game for the biopsy results to come back. It is pure torture. I think I am doing worse than her as I'm in a constant state of anxiety and bouts of tears. She's not a grandma yet. I'm so scared.

  • Hi Boo.

    As others have said really. Waiting is awful. I am in waiting limbo too and honestly I'm wishing the week away, which I am cursing myself for because you shouldn't ever wish time away, but it's hard!

    I don't have any great advice except to say stay away from dark places on the Internet. Everyone's situation is different, so one person's story won't match your mum's. Even if it's what they suspect treatments are great now and they will have a plan. Your mum has you and so she's already going to do great because she has love and support

    Deep breaths and try and keep busy  x
