I am a 35 year old mum of 2 (9yo and 4yo). I noticed some nipple changes 3 months ago which my GP believed to be eczema. After weeks of treating it with steroid cream he agreed to refer me to the breast clinic where I went on Friday. I was fully expecting them to scan me and say it was nothing and that he that. At the scan they found a lump (approx 12mm) and 1 slightly "chunky" lymph node. I had both biopsied and then spoke to the surgeon who said he wasn't too worried but would see me in 2 weeks for the results.
I am terrified! I keep looking at my children and husband and thinking I don't want to put them through something awful. I'm so scared that it will be cancer, my daughter knows something is up as I'm not quite myself. I am feeling really overwhelmed.
I only started my new job 6 weeks ago and that is making me feel stressed too - should I be letting my boss know what is going on (I don't need time off currently because my appointments have been on my day off).
How do you get through these 2 weeks of uncertainty?
