Around 6 months ago I found a lump in my right breast, I booked an appointment at my local Gp and they told me they couldn’t find a lump and that it was just hormonal, told me to put a warm compress on it until it goes away. It’s still there and it’s gotten bigger, it hurts when I press into it and sometimes it hurts when I just graze it. I know it wasn’t hormonal because I know what my breasts feel like when I’m on my period. I felt dismissed by my doctor but I’m scared to book another appointment, let alone ask for a mammogram or an ultrasound. I’m only 18, but I still have as much of a chance at getting breast cancer. Really I just want to know what I should do, should I leave it or find another Gp. I heard my auntie had to go to the hospital because they found a lump, why didn’t they do the same for me. I already told my mom once before that I wanted a mammogram but it hasn’t been talked about since, she says to trust the doctor that checked my breast but how can I when all they did was a hand examination that’s not going to tell me if there’s something wrong with the lump. I just don’t know what to do and I’m rambling.
