Breast Cancer Now Forum

@Evie-S  Thank you so much, really your support and kindness has helped me through this time more than I can even say. I’ll be back with updates as soon as I can.  Sending positive vibes and thoughts out into the universe!  xx J  ... View more

Really trying not to panic, but it seems like literally overnight both of my nipples have turned the slightest bit inward and I've not had this happen before. I really don't know what to think, there's so many factors involved. My mind is making up so many scenarios, my period is due next week so I know that can affect your breasts in different ways...  Are there benign conditions associated with a small lump and slightly inverted nipples or is this for sure a bad sign? My chest feels so tight and I'm just so much more anxious now, ugh. Once again not sure how I'm going to get through until the ultrasound and beyond because I'm just too nervous. ... View more

@Evie-S  Yes my ultrasound is this upcoming Monday. I’m definitely already dreading trying to make it through the weekend, but I have plans to just be with my family and maybe even see one friend (safely, of course). Like you said I’m just going to try to remind myself to take it one step at a time and that one way or another, good or bad, this will pass. I will be okay.  And in regards to just being more aware of my body and breasts now I completely agree with what you said. There have been very brief moments throughout the day when I can fully take my mind off of it and don’t feel anything at all and even forget about it, but the more I get nervous and look stuff up (I know, I know!!! I have to stop) it comes back. It’s just such a bizarre and strange and emotional situation. Thanks for helping me keep my spirits up.  Xx Jessica  ... View more

@alex88  Oh my goodness, I’m sending you so many hugs and so much support. My sister is 17 years old and I can’t even imagine what it must be like to find something that young. I’m so sorry to hear about your parents, I’m keeping your family in my thoughts and prayers <3.  I’m so glad to have found this community where we can just speak with each other freely and be honest about how we feel, it’s really helped me so much in the very short time I’ve been on it.  Please feel free to keep me updated on your situation if you’d like, I’ll always happily listen. I’m putting it out into the universe that we will both be okay and get through this.  x Jessica  ... View more

Thank you so much for your kind words ❤️ I really appreciate it more than you know! So my GP said the lump is about 2cm and would guess that it’s a cyst, but obviously can’t be too sure until there is more imaging so I’m going to need an ultrasound. I was able to get an appointment on Monday, but now I fear that this anxiety is going to be with me for a long period of time until we know what it is. Also I can’t really tell if my nipples are itching or something now and I don’t know if this is just fear manifesting from my head or it’s actually happening because it’s not consistent. I just have a bad feeling in my stomach 😞 But I’m trying to put positive affirmations out there because I know it will come back to me, it has to.  Thanks again, J xx  ... View more

@Evie-S Thank you so much for reaching out and sending advice and tips. Truly your message made my day. Also I’m very happy for your daughter and that she’s okay. My sister is the same age.  I was able to actually get an appointment this morning today, it’s in about 40 minutes actually. Truly I feel like I have a pit in my stomach and my head hurts so much because I broke down for the first time last night just sobbing. I’m just trying to remind myself that every person is different and it doesn’t have to just be cancer.  I know it’s so silly when I don’t have any answers yet at all, but I don’t know what to think. I’m only 21 and am in college. How am I supposed to get through the next day and few days? I think I will forever be changed after finding out, good or bad. Anyway I’m sorry, I don’t mean to be so dramatic. I’ve never ever faced something like this before. I’ll keep in touch.  xx Jessica  ... View more
