Last night I was checking my breasts when I happened upon an extremely tender spot. Upon feeling further I was horrified to discover a largeish lump under the surface. It's on the outside edge of my right breast, below my armpit. It feels smooth and I can move it around with my fingers, which my frantic googling has led me to believe it's more likely to be a cyst?
I am quite frankly petrified - I have terrible generalised anxiety and health anxiety anyway, so this is my absolute worst nightmare. It definitely wasn't there a week or so ago. I have no history of brerast cancer in my family, but I know that's irrelevant.
I've emailed my GP and requested an appointment - I used their symptom checker which concluded I needed to be seen within three days, so now I have to wait for them to call me.
I'm trying not to google any more, but I keep looking at my DD and imagining leaving her. I haven't told my DH yet as he has MH issues of his own and this will send him in to a panic. I can cope better on my own until I know what's going on.
Would love a hand hold!
