Thank you all so much for your support and words of advice. It's one thing to know that there are other women out there who are (or have been) through this, but so much better to feel like I'm actually connected with you all through this forum. I spoke to the nurse this afternoon (they were having an extra 'case review' as my results were so different from the mammogram/ultrasound expectations). We now have a much better idea of why there was confusion yesterday and so I have so much more trust in what I'm being told. I know I'm going to have some bad moments, and probably many worse than this morning still to come, but guess I have to keep reminding myself that it will get better - I was dreading having to 'face' people this evening but inevitably it wasn't nearly as bad as I imagined it would be. I even managed a few hours of 'cancer free' distraction with people I haven't told and, daft though it might sound, I suddenly realized that I'm still just a 'normal'(ish!) person. Best of luck to all of you, and thank you again for helping me end the day feeling so much more positive than when it began.
