Breast clinic

Hello 

Firstly I have severe health anxiety 

I have an appointment at breast clinic on Wednesday 7th 

I went to doctors last week as I felt bumps side of breast. The doctor felt breast and said she felt bilateral generalised lump 

I have spent the last week in a bubble and I'm just stressing out. She said she didn't think it was cancer but my health anxiety mind tells me it is 

Has anyone had anything like this? The bilateral generalised lumps x

  • Hi there and thanks for the post

    I am sorry to hear you have a breast lump alongside health anxiety, this can't be an easy time for you.

    Unfortunately there is no way of knowing what this breast lump is being caused by without going to the breast clinic for further tests. At least you don't have long to wait now until your appointment and hopefully your mind will be put at ease tomorrow.

    Breast lumps have many causes and the majority of people seen in a breast clinic won't be found to have cancer so sit tight as best you can for now.

    Whilst others on here may share there stories it is impossible to compare situations as often they will have different outcomes.

    All the best for your appointment but you know where we are if you need to get back in touch.

    Take care
