Not coping already
My Mum had breast cancer at 59 - still well at 82. I was on yearly visits to specialist and yearly mammograms till 3 years ago. Had a bad experience with mammogram and haven't been back for 3 years...

Hi Helen - as you can see there are lots of us in the same boat. We're all in this together! Never ever allow yourself to feel silly or any other negative thought. Concentrate on you and what questions you may want to ask when you have your appointment on Monday. It is what it is and you know when you come back on here others will pick up on your thoughts and help you through. Positivity is the key with BC!
When you are in this predicament everything in time looks different. You appreciate all the little things that people say and do for you and you let some things wash over you.
When I was first diagnosed the Counsellor had said to always bring it back to now.......if you're feeling anxious pat your legs and say yes it's me, I'm still here and do that with your hips et cetera. Whilst you are doing that you are concentrating on now and calming yourself down.
Wishing you well and take care
