Hi Sarah, you are very welcome. I remember how hard those first few months were. Yes keeping busy is good, and definitely helps. Good Luck with your scan, I hope it goes well and that you have your treatment plan sorted soon. Wishing you all the best for the New Year! Sal xxx

Hi Sal, thank you so much for getting back to me- good to hear I'm not alone in having these thoughts. I've tried to keep really busy today and not think the worst and I must admit it has worked so far! Like you say I just want to get my results and know my treatment plan so I can get on with my life! Thank you again Sarah xx

Hi Sarah, sorry to hear you are going through this, especially at this time of the year (although there's never a good time to get this news)! I was diagnosed with Breast Cancer in 2013, and everything you are feeling is totally normal. On one of the other sites I go on we call the scan and awaiting results....Scanxiety! Which I think describes it to perfection! The not knowing is definitely the worst part. Once you know what you are dealing with and what treatment you will need, you suddenly feel far more in control. Suddenly feeling pains in different areas, is also 'normal', I think you just become far more aware of every ache and pain! But I think the best advice I can offer you, is to take each day as it comes, and remember that Breast Cancer is treatable. It's not fun and you'll have your ups and downs, but it is doable. Wishing you all the best. Sal xx
