Newbi and worried

Hey guys,  I'm new to this , on Friday during my shower I discovered a lump under my arm pit near my breast (where the breast joins the arm bit if that makes sense ) i went to the go straight away who felt the lump she said its around 2cm, kinda of round /oval ,it's soft ish not rock hard , it's movable too I can pinch it  between my thumb and finger, no pain no indentation of the skin no rash, I noticed prior to finding the lump my nipple was sore like as if my bra was rubbing it or I'd been bitten as I was in the garden alot that day , I have nipple piercings so I squoze the nipple and puss came out then after that it was fine ,, then I find the lump roughly 3 weeks later , im due to go to breast cancer clinic on weds next week , I've absolutely  worried sick I've read up on breast cancer etc via Google,  I know it's not advised , and I've made myself ill  with worry,  I've been tired , and have shoulder pain , convinced myself it's to do with cancer even though I moved sofas and units in my living room the night before last so probably  pulled something,  has anyone else had anything like this?

  • Famous last words are “try not to worry” so my advice to you is to take a breath, evaluate the situation, arm yourself with questions for the Dr and try to busy your mind with anything but the obvious. The waiting and wondering is hard but to be fair the whole process comes in stages and waiting sadly becomes a fine art. Thinking positive is productive.

    Here for you, welcome.
