Hi all,
3 months ago I felt a lump under my boob kind of where your bra wire would sit. I couldn’t always find it and at first thought it was only appearing when my breasts swelled before my period. However I’ve now managed to memorise where it is and know it’s not a hormonal thing. With the virus my GP is shut to physical apps so I’ve been automatically referred to hospital. I’m awaiting an appointment… Been told it is usually 3 weeks but ever changing due to the virus. Since speaking with the Dr I have become so much more aware of the lump. I feel an ache there almost all the time and wonder if it’s psychosomatic as there wasn’t an ache there before (only if I was pressing it hard but it wasn’t a lingering ache at all).
I’m usually a very chill person in the sense I don’t let things worry me until it’s confirmed I need to worry but at the same time I’m not adverse to the off anxious moment and right now my brain will not shut off. I’m absolutely terrified because I’ve not had the chance to be seen by a GP who may well have given me an idea of how worried I should be in the first place.
I’ve only told my boyfriend and best friend at the mo. My best friend had a lump a few years ago and it was nothing bad and she tells me cancerous lumps aren’t usually painful but I don’t know where she got that info from so it’s not that comforting. I have zero other symptoms and don’t know if it’s common to have more.
I’ve seen some people’s posts saying how long they waited for apps and that’s also really worrying me.
Anyway I don’t really know what I’m asking for, I guess just some sort of acknowledgement or comfort.
Hope you’re all keeping safe at this scary time. Kami x
