I had pain in my breast and GP referred to hospital to get it checked. Consultant done examination and said breasts were normal but will do mammogram to do routine check. Well I thought I would have that and go home, boy was I wrong had mammogram, then taken to another room told need to do scan, when nurse came in asked if I knew why doing scan I said no as was told breasts appeared normal. She explained a shadow had shown up on mammogram and they will look at it on scan, and when doing scan said now will need to do biopsy, she showed me the shadow on the screen and a couple of glands that needed to be looked at. After biopsy I literally broke down, think it all just took the wind out of my sails, to know they have seen something and it needs investigating. I was petrified that is this cancer, how bad will this be. And then to be told I have 2 weeks to wait for results I felt sick. I'm 41 I lost my mum 10 years ago to cancer so obviously the possibility is so scary. I have a 9 year old boy who I don't want to miss out on seeing grow all these thoughts rushing around my head. I can't sleep properly, I'm crying myself to sleep every night as I can't cry in the day I need to be the same old mum, partner, friend and colleague till I actually know what it is. How do you cope with this wait??
