Scared! Please help

I had a breast biopsy last week and I'm awaiting my results. The doctors don't know what it is. I'm a single mum and only 34 so I'm losing my mind. 

I don't know what to do. 

Please help! 

  • Hi Shads.

    I'm in a similar position. Im 30 and had a breast biopsy on May 4th and now awaiting the results.

    The best thing I've learned is to stay very much in the moment. There is only now. Nothing scary is happening right now,  so we're okay :)

    Worrying and fretting and what ifs about the future change nothing. They only rob us of our peace. 

    You got this!

     

  • Thank you so much for replying. 

    I know logically being scared and fretting is not gonna help but I find it so hard to get my mind off everything. 

    I really hope we both get the all clear, I praying for us both. 

    Thanks hun. 

  • Hi [@Shads]‍ 

     

    The waiting is always the scariest time, the thoughts and fears just constantly jumping to the forefront of your mind. As much as you try to just get on and do things there is always that nagging feeling.

    There is no quick fix to waiting for that call to tell you either to come in and speak to them or the news over the phone.

    We know that there are other things it could be but for some reason we always jump to the scariest conclusion. And that's OK.... because if it is good result the relief is overwhelming and if it is bad news then your almost prepared for it. I am a single Mum, although I have ten years on you and my daughter is about to turn 24, they don't stop being your child. 

    There is so much that the Doctors can do now regardless of what the biopsy shows, I hope you get your answers soon to end your turmoil.. I hope you also come back and update your post.

    Take Care xx
