Hi :))
I've been in remission officially as of the end of April, and because it was a full molecular remission my blood check ups are every four months instead of three, meaning the next time i'll be seen will be in August, but i'm getting super worried about some things
I noticed I had some new stretch marks on the side of my left elbow which is weird since I've been losing weight the healthy way (working out and eating much more healthier), and last week I noticed that my left arm was ever so slightly swollen compared to my right, and across the left side of my body I can feel lumps mostly across the rib cage and some on my right lower ribs, too.
I've been checking all over for new lumps (which I know is super bad to do for anxiety reasons), and my left breast has been feeling not painful, but it's like there's a lingering tenderness to it, so I felt around and on the underneath on the rib there's a new lump which I think is causing it, but I don't want to get too worried as I did have lumps during my PET scan at the beginning of April and they shown up as nothing dangerous. Aswell already having lumps on my ribs, there's been a few more appearing and they just feel uncomfortable in general.
Could I ask for a general check up sooner than August? I don't know if they can do that but I'm getting super anxious just in case by the time August rolls around it's worse than before. It could just be fat deposits like lipomas and it's pressing against a nerve, but with the swelling (it's not even that noticeable) i'm super concerned.
I just don't know what to do or how to go about getting help, my mental health gets in the way of everything and I don't want to feel like a burden for asking for help :/
