Hi Donna,
i'm sorry to hear about your situation but completely understand as I am going through a similar situation. I was diagnosed on 6th August and had my lumpectomy and two lymph nodes removed on the 2nd September. I'm waiting to find out the results this Tuesday. It is exactly what you are saying. I kept saying to myself, what will happen when they find out that it is not cancer. Then my mind starts to accept it and then it doesn't again. It drives me crazy as I can't shake off the fact that I have breast cancer. I say it is like having sticky hands and you can't shake off the sticky bit. I can't shake it off in my head. I have been lucky that I have great support from my friends but unfortunately not from my siblings. I have had to accept that. I have learnt to put yourself first though. It is true to just take one day at a time but try not to let it consume you. "Says me" :) good luck with your next stage. Xx
