I am getting nowhere posting anywhere else.
I have a history of breast pain that happens 3 or so times a year and lasts for 5 weeks approx. I was referred in March to the breast clinic to be told to keep an eye on things.
For the last 4 weeks I have been really uncomfortable in the same breast, my left. I managed to get an appt but had to wait 2 weeks. Got there for the doctor to refuse to examine me as I had only been referred in March. I have a history of anxiety so of course I stressed all weekend. Another feel in the shower on Sunday night I definitely found a lump 😢 I told myself to not panic and check lying down. I did and it was there. Que loads of crying and a call to my mom. I couldn't sleep and I felt sick.
I called doctors on Monday to explain my appt on Friday. I was asked to go in Tuesday morning. Within a minute of the doctor checking, she found it and has referred me to the rapid access clinic for this Sunday. I am trying to keep busy but I am so so scared. The more discomfort I feel with it the more obvious it becomes to me.
Why have I posted this here? Because I am prone to thinking the worst. I have severe anxiety at the idea of dying young and not being around for my young DS. I am his only parent, his Dad is not around. He is on the BC and hasn't seen him in over 3 years but his PR worries me. Obviously this is me thinking too far and inappropriately (i hope) ahead but I think this is the underlying thing triggering my anxiety.
I am only 32 and ds is 4. I am terrified about Sunday.
Does anyone have any breast lump/tenderness stories
