Hi Katieh I agree the waiting is difficult to deal with. Like you after my diagnosis about 6 weeks ago, I had to undergo further tests. I would have preferred to have the surgery last week but due to the AFL grand final public holiday it was delayed until this coming Friday! Not happy! Having said that I have tried to quell my anxiety by keeping busy. I’m retired and a grandmother so fortunate that I don’t have work / family commitments. Be gentle on yourself, it’s such a roller coaster and most people are understanding. I agree with Arpie about getting support online and using the resources on the BCNA website, I’ve found it very helpful. It’s very hard not to overthink it but hold onto the fact that we live in a time where the treatments/ knowledge of this disease are so valuable. Hang in there, all the best with your treatment, hope you get a date asap.
