Name changed for the purposes of this post.
For 6 years I’ve had several breast lumps. All checked out ok. Some cysts, some fibroadenomas and some just general glandy, lumpy, fibrous stuff.
The last check up I had I was told by a quite direct male radiographer that I will one day die but it won’t be from breast cancer. So, clearly he thought I was an over anxious time waster. Although my breasts are full of the above mentioned and it’s hard to track what’s new.
For six months now I’ve had a very tender area basically next to my upper, inner rib but it swells slightly and is excruciating if pressed or knocked. I am small chested and late fourties so I can’t tell if it’s breast tissue or rib? I know everyone will say see a dr (I have an appt booked for new year) but I really think I’m a complete time waster following the comment last time I was at the breast clinic. For context, I’ve been on Oestrogel for 2 years and have a mirena.
