How to calm anxiety

I went to the doctors after finding a lump in my breast they said they think it's fibroadenoma I am now thinking the worse I have got a referral for 2 weeks time but my mind is going crazy and with having a toddler I'm worrying and feel like crying all the time as silly as it sounds.

The doctor just said try and not to worry but by mind is going crazy and now struggling to sleep.

Has anyone one got any tips how to say calm and helping anxiety. 

  • Hi there,

    The wait for your appointment is the worst, I know. It's easy for someone to say try not to worry but try and get things in perspective. Firstly only one in 8 referrals to the breast clinic result in a cancer diagnosis. Secondly, IF and it's a big IF, cancer is found, this is something that can be dealt with and the earlier treatment starts, the better. It's very hard but just go about your day as usual, Nothing has changed and worrying never changes or helps anyone. The to me will soon pass and I hope you are given the peace of mind you need. Take care xx
