Anxiety Plus

I was diagnosed last month with a 4cm tumour in right breast after having DCIS five years ago. A Mastectomy is booked in for 14/3. A month ago I was having a breast MRI when I had a sharp pain in my right rib. Since then I have had pain/heavy feeling in rib/chest area and struggled to get a deep breath which gets worse when I am researching breast cancer which seems to be a big part of my day now. I’m having a bone scan this week. I am exercising every day, meditating and having massages which help. I know I’m going to be a mess 14/3. Have never been an anxiety suffering person before. 
Any suggestions?

    I have an anxiety disorder. When I found out about the cancer I was having multiple panic attacks day plus I couldn't breathe. Talk to your GP and also ask to speak to the hospital,'s oncologist psychologist. Rescue Remedy from the chemist is great and is homeopathic. Hold your breath for 5 seconds and then let it out slowly. Do that a couple of times. All the best.
