Hoping someone can help me calm down. I attended my gp last week due to a lump she referred me to the breast clinic for. She said she isn't worried about it so I shouldn't be (easy for her to say). I do suffer severe health anxiety and have been to the breast clinic twice in the past 2 years (the latest being Feb this year) but it was fir my right breast,this problem is my left breast. I was crying hysterically last week and she said she'd see if the breast clinic can see me sooner. I got an appointment through for 21st December! How can I live like this for weeks? I'm ill with worry, can't think about anything else and it's affecting time I'm spending with my husband and 2 year old. The gp gave me sertraline and been taking this for 8 days now and feel slight effects
