Trigger warning ........breast cancer

Hi im hoping someone can help me as im spiralling...
Ive had breast cancer worries for a while i have just had a baby shes 13 weeks old..

I deceloped a small area on my breast that become sore and red..having bad anxiety i jumped straight to breasr cancer but my docter isnt concerned.i then felt a lump in the nipple but this must have popped instantly as no longer there.

I then kept looking at my breast and noticed my right breast by my nipple looks indented...
Ive been examined by 4 differnet docters all who have felt the area and felt no areas of concern.ivw been in that much of a panic they have referred me to the breasr cljnic for reassurance..one saying there 99 percent sure it isnt cancer.

However now when i hold my breast and use 1 finger to feel around in that area i can feel a small tiny like dot which is harder than the surrounding area its tiny about size of a grain of rice but ive gone into turmoul and now fear its that small no docters can feel..i no i shouldnt examan myself with 1 finger but ive found it now and cant stop ...
My docrer said i will feel lumps and bumps if i feel like this and there only referring me to reassure me as ive been examined by about 4 docters in a week

Please help me i think im dying i havnt eaten for 4 days

Im not trying to insult anyone imnjust scared like anyone would be who finds something strange...yes ive had an ultrasound but thinhs get missed...what if it was so small and so deep it was missed...and like i said he literally scanned ne for 5 mins like he wasnt interestesed i was there ...

I don’t know a single soul who has had breast cancer missed on ultrasound so I don’t know who all these people are you’re talking about. You do realise that the ultrasound pings back if there is cancer. This DIDN’T HAPPEN. You have no got cancer. You seem to want it. You really need to get a grip and see your GP. I’ve said it multiple times.

Oh and for the record. It was less than a minute before the radiographer said “I’m afraid we need to biopsy”. You did not have a biopsy because you don’t have fucking cancer.

Ive been following this thread and I do find it quite disturbing. Like many other people here, I have had breast cancer. I used to check my breasts regularly and never felt anything unusual but I was recalled after a routine mammogram.

When I went to the breast clinic, I had another mammogram and then an ultrasound. They were looking at three areas of my breast and the ultrasound probably took five minutes for all three areas. The consultant I told me immediately that they could see abnormalities and biopsies were necessary to confirm their suspicion that what they had seen was cancerous. It turned out that I had three very small tumours - 2, 3, and 4 cm respectively and two of them were very deep in my breast; two of the tumours were tubular, which is a rare form, and their shape makes them more difficult to detect than most other breast cancers. The third tumour didn’t show up in either mammogram, but was picked up by the ultrasound. At no time could I, or any of the doctors I saw, ever feel any of the tumours. If an ultrasound can detect tiny and very deep tumours like mine, and one that a mammogram didn’t detect, there is no way that the person who carried out your ultrasound will have made a mistake, or carried out the procedure too quickly. The staff in breast clinics spend all day, every day dealing with women’s breast problems. You have been given a clear diagnosis which is NOT breast cancer. If you can’t accept this then you should go back to your GP and get some help for your ridiculous anxiety.
