In 2019 I found a lump on my breast and due to my Anxiety it sent me into panic mode. I was refereed to the breast screening clinic and after almost a week of worry and anxiousness , not eating and sleeping it was thankfully a cyst. I remember the Radiologist said I do have some smaller cysts present as well. She drained the big cyst. That was that. I was 45 then.
I went for my routine Breast screening last Thursday. Today I received the letter stating I need further tests. This has spiralled me back to where I was 5 years ago. I’ve not eaten all day and I’ve worried myself sick. I have an appointment next Wednesday 7 Aug. I’m so scared about this and what they have found.
I have always been breast aware and check myself a lot. I’ve not felt any lumps or had any breast cancer symptoms. I know not everyone will have symptoms but I know friends that have always had something like a lump in their armpit and swollen lymph nodes etc. I just don’t know who to talk to and I feel so alone.
