Told ‘to prepare for a cancer diagnosis’

I had some tests this week and after they were done the surgeon and specialist nurse asked to meet with me in a room. The surgeon said that I needed to prepare myself for a diagnosis of cancer. The nurse then sat with me and gave me her card etc and told me to get in touch at any point if I wanted to talk anything through.
They did a biopsy and results are through next week. They did say it looks early stage.
So I’m slowly going a bit crazy. Worn out, worried, scared and not sure what this all means. If they’ve said it, does that sound like it is pretty much a thing, even though I wait for biopsy?
Would welcome any responses.

Wait for results is just excruciating.
I received a letter saying something had been seen on a CT scan and the consultant wanted to see me. I arrived and my name was called. I stood up and the nurse said ‘ Mr Consultant is running a little late so we will call for you as soon as he arrives. I will then take you to The Lavender suite ’. I just knew then that this was a special room for giving out bad news. I was right. It had comfy chairs and a box of Kleenex in the coffee table.
Some things you never forget 😪
