Hi Shelley,
I’m glad you found BCNA and the Online Network - it looks like @arpie has already warmly welcomed you and hopefully you will get a lot from everyone, who will know exactly how you’re feeling!

Managing that stress – Is this article there are some good tips for managing stress and practicing some mindfulness, especially while you wait for your results - https://myjourney.org.au/article/3518
Upfront about Breast Cancer with Dr Charlotte Tottman:- I also found these podcasts a great resource (when you are sick of reading) and you can hear real stories and take away tips from those who have had their own breast cancer experience - https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/upfront-about-breast-cancer/id1466202281
I hope these links help is some way!
PS - I now have a visual of that Magpie going up and down and all over the place but I hope it will settle on a branch and take a moment for you shortly!
