There is no easy answer to your question. I think just go with now. Everyone is anxious and frightened pre results after breast cancer so feeling worried and wanting to curl up and hide is normal.

So lovely I would park those dark thoughts, slap on a smile and reconnect in activities with the confidence you are doing everything you can, and whatever the results you will do whatever it takes to continue to be here for your family.
