Hi,
I have an appt on the 22nd but obviously it plays on your mind and I’m not coping well with waiting (I have posted about this last week). When the doctor asked me if the lump hurt I said no but today (and looking back I seem to have had it quite a lot in the last 6 months) my whole breast aches. Part of me thinks it is in my head but hubby did say I had mentioned it quite a few times over the months and that sometimes I even said I hadnt slept well because it was aching. Obviously at the time I put this down to cycle changes and sometimes hoping that it would be an early pregancy symptom because we had been trying for over 2 years.
Since last night my left breast (the one with the lump) has been aching and I feel really sick. I don’t think this is ‘worried sick’ but actually an illness sick. I can’t eat because I feel so sick and have spent all day on the sofa. I’m worried this might be connected as behind my shoulder blade aches too. Over the last 6 months I have been for massages as deep in my back aches frequently. Really wish I’d seen the gp about that earlier too. If it was the right side aching I don’t think I’d be as worried.
Should I phone the doctors tomorrow - would they be able to do anything or just tell me to wait until the appointment? I phoned the appointments line today and there had been no cancellations but they told me to phone everyday just incase.
Part of me thinks it’s my mind playing tricks and making me feel sick and ill but I’m very very worried and getting more worried all the time. This is awful. I know there is only a small statistical chance anything is wrong but I have a really bad feeling about it.
I’m so sorry to moan on here but my hubby is being very upbeat and cheerful and I dont want to drag him down to my level of misery - it’s good for at least one of us to be optimitic!
Thanks for listening x
On a separate note… apologies for my spelling/ grammar I think I’m trying to type as quickly as I think without much success!
Hi sbh, I don’t think you’ll get any answers until your appointment on the 22nd tbh (or sooner fingers crossed). I honestly think what you’re feeling now is down to anxiety, but in your shoes I would be, and have been the same, it’s a horrible time and very difficult to think of anything else. I noticed the other day you said you work from home, I do too, not good when you need a distraction I know x
Thanks I actually feel much better this morning and much more optimistic I bought Miranda series 1 yesterday and watched most of it… cheered me up no end! I also read all the leaflets available on here about benign conditions which also made me feel a lot better (even though some of them weren’t at all relevant!) - I woudl receommend that to people who are waiting as it made me feel so much more confident
