I would definately open up to family. Your daughter is young, so not sharing your worries with her, but seriously talking things through with family, or friends, will help you manage the anxiety. 

We all go to the worst scenario.....don't Google it either, it only heightens the anxiety. You've done the right thing in contacting the GP, but just take each day as it comes, and lean on family and friends at this time.

You are in the worst stage.....the not knowing. Once you know what you are dealing with, it becomes easier. 

I've triple negative breast cancer, Stage 3, as also in my lymph nodes. Diagnosed November 2020, aged 48. Just had six months of chemo, now waiting for surgery. When there is a plan of treatment there is always hope.

However, you may not have cancer....could be lots of other explanations, so don't think too far ahead. 

Best of luck. X

Hello,

Thank you so much for your reply. You are so positive, and so right not to look too far ahead and jump to conclusions etc. I find it so hard though. I am a natural worrier. Waiting is torture isn't it. My other half is amazing, and we've agreed not to tell anyone until I've seen the dr the hospital. It seems a life time away though.

Once we've put our worries in the hands of the professionals we should sit back and let them do what they are good at, right?!

Thank you again, and take care.
