it must be very worrying to experience these problems with your breast after such a sad sequence of events with your nans and your mum.It is important that you recieve proper treatment so dont worry about what they think-ask to be seen again and go armed with questions-what is this,why does it keep recuring.You are entitled to ask.If not happy ask for a second opinion-again you are entitled to it.If this was sorted the you could relax a bit.Living in a constant state of worry is not good for you or fair.so glad you joined as others will be able to offer support to and hope this will help you feel less alone and more aware of your options and rights as a patient.
