Hi all, im just after some understanding i guess, the last 24 hours, less actually, 19 hours have been a bit crazy. This time yesterday my only concern was my other half going off to play golf the whole day without telling me, and now today I have a) discovered a pea sized lump in my right breast last night b) had a doctors appointment where i got rather upset and scared and c) already recieved an appointment for the breast clinic on monday 5th jan. Rather alot to take in in less than 24 hours. I'm 34, my boyfriend is being really supportive, but i am worrying myself silly and i know the next 6 days are going to be miserable and not at all new years'y at all now becuase i am stressing out. A close friend who is the same age as me was literally diagnosed with BC about 2 months ago and i think that is adding to my worries. I don't know whether to tell my mum and dad, although I know that i am going to have to speak to them on new years and am worried that i will not be any good at acting normal - i don't want to worry them unescessarily as my Dad has only just been diagnosed with Prostate cancer and we are waiting back on results from his scans to check that it hasn't spread. I'm sorry, im waffling, but it's just really good to get this out, even if no one reads it! i guess my main question is could i walk out on Monday knowing that i am absolutly fine, if that is indeed the case, could they tell me all that on Monday? If i only have to keep this between me and my boyfriend till then and keep all my fingers and toes crossed for good news then I think I could?? Any thoughts or advice would be really apprecieated as im feeling pretty overwhelmed right now.
