Hi Terrier, don't worry about being told that,I was the same as Dotchas,after mammogram had ultrasound and the nicest ultrasound doc said that he had been in the job for 20years and what he saw looked very suspicious,had 2 needle biopsies and a core biopsy,told an hour later that the needle ones were inconclusive but again the lump looked suspicious,just had 48 hrs to wait for core results to be told that unfortunately it was cancer,I think they knew at the clinic but just didnt want to overload me with it all on that day and I'm grateful that was led down the path to expect the news wasn't going to be good,gave me time to think omg what now and what next! But at least was prepared to chat to consultant about what was going to happen by researching the possibilities and getting a load of info on here. This place is a godsend,so much support and friendship and help and info.What works for me is just looking at being one step of where I am,have just had lumpectomy and sentinal node biopsy last week,getting results on Wed and I know what all the possible outcomes could be...like to have all my bases covered,but no point inlooking too far ahead or two stages ahead as that might not be the journey you have to take.Different things work for differnt people,there is no right or wrong way,but don't ever think you are alone ,we are here together,side by side,helping each other,keep chatting and ask away about whatever worries you have,there will always be someone to help.
Good luck and big hugs for you
