I am struggling to keep my illogical catastrophe brain at bay today. Tomorrow I have a mammogram, for the past 2 months I have had a uncomfortable pulling, tugging feeling in my left breast. Not specifically what I would describe as pain more of a sensation. I went to the GP and she was very comfortable everything would be ok. BUT I have this hang up in my brain as 2 years ago I was diagnosed with a rare tumour type in my neck, had a genetic mutation identified, had surgery and well recovered other than nerve damage.
Logical brain is saying - there isnt a lump, your nipple is fine, the skin looks fine. The scan will be clear
Illogical Catastrophe brain is saying - there is a really odd sensation deep in the breast, its uncomfortable (not painful) and my body has a broken mutation that is supposed to prevent tumours from growing.
I am putting a brave face on at home, I am 35, what if another one has grown in my chest or worse what if I have breast cancer....and so my brain continues. Any words of wisdom on calming the catastrophe brain so I can calmly go tomorrow and prove to myself all is ok?
