So sorry to see you posting here, Effy fangirlyness and that you are distressed re the possibility of getting a BC diagnosis :( ....
If you'd like to chat to someone about it, give our help line a call on 1800 500 258 (Mon-Fri, business hours.)
Getting a 'call back' from any BC Mammogram/Ultrasound is always a scary thing .. but try not to overthink things - don't get ahead of yourself. All going well, the ongoing test/biopsy will show as being a cyst or necrotic tissue .....
Likewise, all going well, your child won't get sick & everything should be fine xx
Without prying, I am wondering if you may be of an age where you may also be experiencing menopause symptoms? Which can also manifest in similar 'feelings' ....
I hope you can see a counsellor soon, to allay your fears xx Try & keep yourself 'busy' doing things you love doing. It is a way of keeping your mind busy on 'other things' as worrying about what 'may happen' can just cause more distress.
Also, try Staying in 'the present' (also called Mindfulness) as it may help lessen your stress....
Mindfulness is a mental state of being present and fully aware of one's thoughts, feelings, and surroundings without judgment. It's a way of paying attention to the present moment, which can be through techniques like meditation, breathing exercises, and yoga. Mindfulness can help reduce stress, improve focus, and promote emotional regulation.
