Hi. Waiting for final results tomorrow

Good afternoon
the last month has been a blur and filled with lots of tears.  I went to gp for something else on the 24th of April and while I was there asked him to check a tiny lump in right breast.

he recommended a mamagram and ultrasound. Of course I couldn't book it until the 26th of April so called on my way to work and they could do it that afternoon.  Omg. When they said you might feel some pressure.  I called husband to tell him what I had done.   I hadn't mentioned the lump before.  Results Friday.  I called the dr Friday morning and they said results had just came in. A cyst looked fine but they would drain it just to be safe I went straight down to book appointment and messaged work I wouldn't be back that day.  While they were scanning again to get right area the two ladies went silent and I think I knew then something wasn't right anyway another quick mamo of just one shot of right breast, back to area for cyst drain at nine o clock. and they asked if it was okay for core biopsy in area 10 o clock and the cyst they said wouldn't hurt this next one might hurt!   I don't where along the way I became such a sook but I am. ( we have three daughters. 20,23,26.  and I am 44. Somewhere along the way I became the biggest wimp in the world.

the core biopsy  - the last of three things hurt a lot.

tuesday at 4 pm  dr clinic called and said dr would like to see me and j asked if I should bring someone in? The lady went to check and she said yes. So I knew then.   So at 7pm we got the news.   Holy cow.  I haven't been back to work since.  Have had ct scan. Bone scan and lumpectomy with sentinal node last Monday.  We have cruise booked for 19th of June and they said still do the cruise, it's for 25th wedding anniversary.   I have support of two friends in friendship circle that have survived this so I know it's going to be okay but..... why why why.  I am not that strong person it's not me.  Why the long wait between lump removal and results. 

I have foudn this this website Amazing so sorry for the long ramble.   Wish me luck for tomorrow.
