Hi loulou As everyone said already its the waiting thats the worst...waiting for tests, waiting for results, waiting for your op and then waiting for your treatment plan....once you have all these details you will be fine. I found out in october that I had grade 2 idc I was told all along that I would probably need mastectomy, chemo, radiotherapy and tamoxifen possibly herceptin depending on the results. I had my mastectomy 3 weeks after diagnosis and 3 lymph nodes removed for biopsy, I waited a week and a half for the results that were better than expected....it hadnt spread to my lymph nodes, ididnt need chemotherapy or herceptin so I started tamoxifen tablets straight away and 3 weeks later had 15 sessions of radiotherapy! I have 4 young children 3 boys 2, 5 and 9 years and a daughter 12 years....I told my daughter the truth as I didnt want her finding out any details from others and thinking that id lied to her....she was devasted but once I explained everything properly she calmed down and coped amazingly! My 2 older boys I told them I had a nasty lump that was making me poorly so I had to have a booby taken away to make me better....I assured them I would get better and they were fine. your feelings are perfectly normal and as time goes on you will feel yourself getting stronger, you will still have wobbly days but there will be more good days 🙂 Hope all goes ok with your op ((((hugs))))
