Lump on breast

Hey, I think I just want to write this out.

I found m another lumps on my breast today, hard and unmoving yet no pain. Similar to one I found a while ago. I found a lump somewhere else too.

Breast cancer runs in my family. Logically, I know I should get it checked out but at 22, I don’t think there’s much they’ll say to me. I think I’d feel silly even showing up.

I know it’s better to be safe than sorry, I just can’t find the motivation to do it. I have this habit of pretending things are going to be okay so I don’t worry or stress, I sort of push it back and don’t think about it because it’s not happening now. Maybe i’m in that mindset.

I don’t think I can speak to anyone else about this, I did try but I genuinely don’t have any friends and my partner loves me but doesn’t really get it when I first told him a while ago, before the second lump appeared.

Im expecting some blood results to come back tomorrow for an unrelated reason, if they’re normal I guess I’ll stop thinking about it.

Just wanted to vent, thank you.

Go to the dr and get it checked. Insist on a referral to the breast clinic. Unfortunately you’re not too young and it’s better safe than sorry xx

OP, do go to the GP. I’m around your age and went to the GP and they referred me to the breast clinic and I was seen within 3 weeks. It was all very efficient and it’s reassuring if nothing else to have it confirmed it’s fine by a specialist. Better to be safe than sorry in these situations
