How do you deal with the waiting and loss of control?

Posted by mygoodgirls @mygoodgirls, Mar 11 5:25pm

I am in the early stage of my diagnosis. I am so drawn to the internet to research then end up going down "worst case scenario" rabbit holes... I guess I am feeling a loss of control and I don't know how to regain my feeling of control. I NEVER expected breast cancer...we have no family history of it so silly me, I thought my breasts were safe.

Any advice on how to wait for information without driving myself bonkers? Also, how do I regain my feeling of control after my body betrayed me? I find myself on this cancer train and there's no way to get off...

Surround yourself with friends and do things you enjoy . Listetening to music helped me. The waiting is the hardest part but soon you will be past this and getting your treatment.
There are so many good treatments for cancer now. Ask your Drs and nurses your questions. They are very helpful.
Thinking of you and sending a big hug.
