Hi everyone,
I've got myself into a bit of a panic and could do with a virtual hand hold please. A good while ago (I think at least 12 months, maybe more) I went to the GP with a hard lump at the side of my boob and they referred me for an ultrasound, said its all fine and I went on to ignore it. I've been back since about 12 months ago with breast cysts etc that were removed.
Recently every time I feel this lump in the shower it makes me feel so sick, I wish it wasn't there as it gives me such anxiety!! I keep worrying maybe it isn't the same lump...maybe it's changed etc. Is it normal to have a firm lump that never goes away?? I have health anxiety and I know I do get a bit fixated on things and i think this has caught my attention, but I'm just really scared now that it could be something bad that I've left for ages. It doesn't help that I've heard news of a few people diagnosed lately thats sent me into further panic 😔
I've paid for a private consultation in 1.5 weeks, because I felt really bad taking up an NHS slot when I think this has been looked at before and I feel like I've been so many times with different cysts etc I feel embarrassed! Hoping that appointment comes round soon and calms me down but until then I wondered if anyone else has similar please??
Thank you in advance 💖💖
