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.

    waiting is hell on earth!

    waiting for my biopsy results where bad enough but then waiting 3 weeks for the results from my surgery was absolutely agonising

    Keep busy, plan a few nice trips/ treats etc for you & your mum to do together ( if possible) keep off Google!! 
    I spent hours looking up everything and anything to do with BC and it turns you into a nervous wreck .

    whatever the outcome you obviously have a lovely relationship with your mum 

    she will get the best care im sure ️

    Sending love x
