Hi @Auntieshell78 - yep, the waiting is the absolutely worst part - it's so hard to distract yourself and think of something else - especially at night when you're left with nothing but your thoughts.
It was the January school holidays when I was waiting for all my results so to some extent I was running around trying to keep a 12 year old occupied. Funny story - I took him and a friend to an exhibition about the Titanic. Part of it involved a very realistic replica of parts of the ship, and my Breast Surgeon called me with the news that I had to have biopsies on 'suspicious' areas shown in my ultrasound, right when I was literally standing on 'a sinking ship'! :smile: Sometimes you just have to laugh, right?
In any case, I found that burying myself in research was what was the right thing for me to keep my mind occupied - that's not the solution for everyone of course, but for me it was a way to gaining knowledge and being more informed. Apart from that, I binged on Netflix and to be honest, on the nights that my mind really took over in bed, I took a temazepam and sank into oblivion!
