The waiting black hole

Hi All,

I am 39 mum of 2 beautiful girls, on Saturday I found out I have a 6cm breast lump and a swollen lymph node. I feel like I have done nothing but spiral since. I have a cough and have now convinced myself that I have Metastatic lung cancer. It is hard not to read the internet and determine my own prognosis. Seeing these forums have made me feel better, knowing I am not alone but how do you all cope? I have 9 days until my appointment for my results.

Thanks

  • Hi Em,

    A very warm welcome to our forum.

    It is only natural to worry about your family at this stage. I hope that what I've written above is of some help to you. I had two young teenage children, when I was first diagnosed and was worried that I'd never see them grow up. As it's turned out, I have been fortunate enough to see them leave school, go to university, graduate, find gainful employment, fall in love, marry and they've provided us with 2 wonderful grandchildren.

    I sincerely hope that nothing untoward shows up in your results. Please keep in touch and let us know. We are always here for you.

    Kind regards,
