Hi everyone i joined today to ask for some advice
If this post doesnt make much sense i apologize as i am really struggling
I was referred to the breast clinic 1st dec by my GP who found a “smooth, horizontal, mobile swelling 1x2cm after a consultation as i had a tender spot on the outer lower part of my left breast ( which now seems to have gone!) I asked if she thought this was suspicious and she said it didnt feel suspicious but will refer me to the breast clinic as a matter of caution
I had my app at the breast clinic on the 15th in which i saw a doctor who performed an examination. He seemed pretty relaxed, I cant remember all of the conversation but i remember asking if he thought this was something to worry about and he said unlikely
He performed a breast examination and said he could feel “what they referred me for” and he will get me in for a ultrasound and mammogram. He gave me some advice of “when scares like this happen it can make people reevaluate things” i asked again if he thought it was anything as he is referring me for a mammogram and ultrasound and he said he was “66% but wants to be 99% just to check some discrepancies”
I could not make any sense of it, i feel i am no further forward no i am terrified of having the ultrasound and mammogram tomorrow
I have been unable to eat or sleep, i last ate sunday night as i cannot stomach the thought of food, I can barely function just very very basic, i cannot stop thinking about it. I cannot work out if my anxiety is causing more pain in my breasts or if it is something else.
I contacted my GP regarding how i was feeling and they said kindly to just get on with it
Can anyone advise as I really am struggling
Thanks x
