Waiting for urgent breast clinic

How do i get through the waiting without going mad    I just feel completely scared

  • Hi, you are not alone in your fear and there are a few of us at the same stage of waiting for the what if’s. 
    I read on another chat that someone rightly said that you need to remember it’s not cancer  until they tell you it’s cancer. 
    our thoughts take us down a dark rabbit hole and it’s difficult to get out of it but you have to try the best you can. 
    I am spending my weekend binge watching an old favourite tv show and walking the dogs. I will get in the kitchen later and cook for the family and maybe bake some goodies as that’s my happy place. 
    it doesn’t make the fear go away but if I try hard then I can squash it as much as possible

    tomorrow is my appt with the breast specialist and all of my own calming ideas will be out of the window I’m sure! Bit you have to try

    Hi Vickie,

    A very warm welcome to our forum.

    I am glad to see that you have your breast clinic appointment tomorrow and I hope that it all goes well. I don't know what your symptoms are, but not all lumps are cancerous. Many turn out to be benign cysts, fibroadenoma or due to hormonal changes. It is a fact that only 20% of those referred to the clinic, will get a cancer diagnosis.

    I shall be thinking of you tomorrow.

    Please keep in touch and let us know how you get on. We are always here for you.

    Kind regards,
