Hi chelseagirl,
Sorry to find you here, but you did the right thing reaching out for support. It’s really terrifying when we go through this initially, and waiting for biopsy results is absolutely
the worst time of all.
Fundamentally this is why we have screening mammograms isn’t it. Sometimes they do find things, but in that scenario it’s usually been found very early - as was my case. They’ve obviously found something that needs investigating. Please remember that just because biopsies are done, doesn’t mean you have cancer. They are done to rule out cancer fundamentally and analyse what’s there. This could be a cyst or many other benign conditions. If not, and it is a BC then it will be dealt with and you will be very well looked after. So many of us do well after a diagnosis.
I too looked after my mother with vascular dementia for 18 months before she went into a home. It’s so hard to deal with isn’t it. I know all the stress of dealing with her care heightened my anxiety about everything which may be a reason why you are finding it hard to keep perspective at this difficult time for you too.
Good luck with everything. Try and keep busy to distract yourself until you know.
All the best x
