Hi, found a lump at the beginning of lockdown that I chose to ignore until a month ago!! biopsy revealed stage 1 BC. another shadow was seen and had MRI, now waiting fir those results to confirm treatment plan. How does everyone deal with the waiting? i know and whole heartily appreciate that im one of the 'lucky ones' but my emotions are all over the place! I feel like a terrible person- my friends are being amazing and baking, buying me gifts and organising 'girls nights' to give me something to look forward to, but i just want to go back to 'normal!' that sounds dreadful and massively ungrateful - i just feel like 'that person with cancer' is it 'normal' to hate your breasts after diagnosis? i cant bear to look or touch them. lastly (honestly!) my wonderful breast nurse has told me to live as 'normal' until 2 weeks before my op. But, i am now covid obsessed as i just want this cancer OUT! I usually love the gym but am i putting myself at risk of infection by going or am i being neurotic ? We are thankfully in a very low risk area. thank you so much for your time
