itsjustmeuc - I'm sorry to hear what you're going through. Those first weeks are incredibly difficult when there seem to be more questions than answers and the path forward is unclear. And this time of year adds to the complexity.
I personally had a single 1cm lesion with a few lymph nodes involved and I was sent for CT and bone scans. It was daunting however I tried to remind myself that the more information they have the better targeted to my situation my treatment will be.
Do you know who the scan reports will go to? I wonder if you can ask them to hold off providing the results until your appointment after Christmas. A few days is unlikely to make a difference to your treatment but it will give you a chance to breathe and spend time with your son.
Do you have a Breast Care Nurse you can contact to discuss how you're feeling? I found mine very knowledgeable when I asked about why certain steps were occurring. Or the BCNA helpline - here's some information about their their holiday hours and alternatives if you would like to talk to someone: BCNA's 🎄Hours & Support Options
Take care.
Thank you! The results will go to the breast team I belive though they will probably copy in my GP. That's a good idea to go to the nurses, I didn't even think of that. I can ask them what the process is if they find anything and let them know I don't want to be called before christmas.
