Just posting this here because I know it's a safe place and no one here IRL knows me...
Just got results from breast biopsy tonight and it is "not benign"... my reaction is "OK, what is the next step"... not emotional, not telling anyone except my BFF, just what happens next... I am a very analytical person but is this "normal"?

It’s normal.
When I went to the ER, no one said cancer. Just an inoperable mass around my carotid.
It’s weird.
My oncologist was wonderful but again, no one mentioned the C-word.
It’s normal (as far as I know — this is my first — and hopefully last — cancer). I also wasn’t emotional. I wanted to get to chemo as fast as possible. Get it over with. Mine was lymphoma. Has chemo and radiation.
My tip is to exercise (recommended by John Hopkins and discovered AFTER my chemo 🙄)
