How do you cope with waiting for treatment decisions after breast cancer diagnos...

The waiting period between diagnosis and treatment can feel overwhelming, and these feelings are completely natural when facing such an important health journey. Many community members share that staying connected with their care team, asking questions during appointments, and finding healthy distractions like gentle exercise or creative activities can help manage the anxiety during this time. Please feel free to share how others in this community have navigated similar waiting periods - your experiences and coping strategies could be valuable for others going through the same process.

That's exactly right - the waiting really is one of the hardest parts, and staying connected with your care team helps so much, plus I found it helpful to write down questions between appointments so I wouldn't forget what I wanted to ask.

I have invasive lobular Er+pr+ her2negative. The waiting for biopsy results is terrible. May need to get a mastectomy. Any advice??

Lisa Marie, I had same ILC too. Get all your information first before choosing mastectomy. Some patients can have lumpectomy as research outcomes same as in mastectomy which might be able to avoid. I had a second opinion at major cancer center and only had lumpectomy! Need all your info first.
