Hi @Sabbra,
Welcome to the forum. I hope you find it to be as warm and helpful as I have. For me it's been a lifeline. You can come here for a pity party, a laugh (really!), a vent, and endless questions. It's an amazing hive mind.
The waiting is the absolute pits. In many ways it's the worst part of the whole breast cancer experience.
The only way through it is to take it one day at a time, and distract, distract, distract. TV, friends, exercise, whatever it is, do it.
I know you're scared. Everyone here has felt what you're feeling now. Take comfort that Australia (and Finland) lead the world in the treatment of breast cancer. It's a well oiled machine and you will get the best of care.
Come back tomorrow and tell us how you went. Biggest of hugs lovely, K xox
