Hiya
I’m a healthcare professional who’s had a lumpy boob since I finished breast feeding my eldest, about 11 years ago.
I always felt it was hormonal, and I’m dr phobic so I just left it.
But recently my older sister had a minor breast scare so I promised her I’d get checked, and now I’m in my 40s I’m less of a wuss!! I am also more aware of it these days having lost weight and breast density generally.
I went to the drs yesterday, saw the nurse practitioner. She did a 2 second examination with me sat up and is referring me to the hospital for a mammo.
Now, I’m pretty sure it’s nothing sinister. I have no other symptoms, the lump seems quite mobile, I’m very fit and well and always have been…but there’s still that nagging fear that’s making me feel a bit queasy and I’m struggling to focus on anything…
Can anyone offer any calming words?!
Thank you so much x
No calming words as such but I totally understand how you feel. I’ve been a nervous wreck too and time seems to be going so slow but at least you have the ball rolling now and are one step closer to a resolution, good or bad x
Thank you, you’re right x
