I don't usually post to these forums but I'm finding my journey quite difficult at the moment. I am 23 and found a lump on my breast last month, having been to my GP And then being referred to hospital I am now waiting for my tests which are this coming Wednesday. The waiting feels awful, i try and put it to the back of my mind and until today that worked, now I feel stuck in limbo. I have a great support network but somehow I feel I can't get too upset when I don't know what it is plus I feel if I get too upset my family/friends might too. My mum was cleared of breast cancer in September 2016 which is positive but cancer runs in my family and I lost my dad to prostate cancer when I was 12. I just feel sick and unsure of how to deal with this feeling, I know it could be nothing but if it's something I don't know where to find the strength to deal with it. Has anyone got any good suggestions on how to keep positive whilst I'm waiting? X
