Swelling on my collar bone.

Hello,

 

I had my mammogram about 10 days ago and I have been called in on Monday morning to the Breast Cancer Clinic at Birmingham for further discussion and another screening. I dont feel any lumps in my breasts but I have a swelling on my collar bone which is periodically sore and then it goes away for a bit. Now Im worrying of course everything is magnified, Im not scared exactly, just feeling rather sad and tearful. My mum and my grandma had breast cancer in their sixties but I have previously been told that this doesnt place me at any increased risk of getting it myself but I`ve always found that a bit hard to believe…

 

Hope everyone os ok out there. Im going for a hood long walk with my little dog, that always bucks up my spirits! Id like to talk to someone but I`m incredibly tearful at the moment…
