Awaiting formal confirmation - terrified
Hi, I was called back last week for a biopsy of my right breast. The Drs said it was highly suspicious of cancer. At the time I was totally flawed and didn’t take anything in after that. Now I have so...

Oh you r poor thing. I remember that panic. You can not predict what will happen at all. You have to wait until all the test are done, and even then be warned what they suggest for treatment it can change ,as they slowly tailor the treatment to your body and your cancer. Its personalised medicine and it is a good thing. But it is a step by step discovery. It is hard to wait.
Until a proffesional doctor tells you what you have and what needs to happen ,what options you have , you can do nothing. Push it away. Worry will just make you sick with anxiety. Meditate , self care as much as you can.
Incase it is helpful, i had breast and lymph node biopsy many years ago, yes i had to have amesectomy, chemo radiation, herception and cancer was in my lymphnodes... but luckily not my organs or bones.
Until cat scan/bone scans and surgery /psthology all happens do you really get that sigh of relief.
i am still here 18 years later, but if i had not had the treatments i would not be here.
But I have a friend who has stage 4 breast cancer since 2016, is fit and well and in 'remission'/no evidence of disease. Treatments often work really well.
I know others who live well with cancer for many years thanks to treatments.
Do not deny yourself the chance of long term healing for the sake of your daughter, rather do it for her, so you can be well and look after her.
Some cancers can grow really fast , others really slow, it is too risky to leave it alone.
Breast cancer can be treated and in most cases full healing.
Sending love and hugs and fingers crossed for you hunny bun.
