The sentence above is one I’d never thought I’d have to write but I can imagine that’s the same for all of us on this forum.
I found a lump a few weeks ago and was reassured over and over again it was just due to being pregnant, however they referred me to be safe. Yesterday, I received the most unexpected and terrifying news, they think it’s breast cancer and I now have to wait 7-10 days for my biopsy results.
I’m so scared and don’t know how to fill my time. My mind keeps going to the worst case scenario and I don’t know what to do. I’m worried for myself, my husband and my unborn baby.
I just wanted to post to see if anyone has gone through something similar or tips on passing the time. I’m beside myself with fear.
We are so so sorry to hear this. It must be such a worrying time for you, and must be so difficult to content with.
Firstly, it’s totally normal to feel consumed by this, and to keep considering the worst case scenario. I would really recommend reaching out to our nurses if you are feeling overwhelmed, or if you have any questions. Sometimes it can just be helpful to talk things through. You can reach them on our free helpline 0808 800 6000, and you can call them as many times as you want or need.
@aerthom my heart goes out to you, I’m so sorry to read such sad post, take one day at a time at the moment, let wait for the biopsy to come back there will be a better picture of what is ahead.
Please come back at let us know how your getting on, sorry I can’t be more helpful.
Wishing you love, strength, health and happiness ahead.
