Hi
I'm new here, not diagnosed yet but have some worrying symptoms. I have fibromyalgia so often every thing is blamed on that, after a flare didn't pass after two and a half weeks I saw a GP and explained my symptoms. Something isnt right and I have a breast lump. He said it was fibromyalgia go to a chronic pain workshop and I'd need another appointment to check the lump...he didn't have time. I was crying and saying how ill I felt...which he put down to anxiety.
A few days later I saw a much better GP. I explained I'm short if breath, sweats and chills, no cough, more fatigue than usual, palpitations...not related to my anxiety. Some night sweats and the lump. Also very heavy periods. She listened, I had blood taken a few days later and a smear test. She the lump was rubbery and she suspected it was a gland. Asked me to see her again in a few weeks.
The lump changed over the next week, swelling and thickening around the gland. So I went in a few days early and she agreed to refer to breast clinic under two week wait but doesn't think its cancer. Bloods say I'm anemic and should take folic acid but thyroid fine...no full blood count back yet. She will retest bloods on friday if no results back. I asked specifically about that result as my uncle had lymphoma and my grandad had it twice. Would that show if I was at risk?
I have some hip and rib pain, still short of breath and have hardly been out in 4 weeks due to the fatigue.
I feel like I'm going nuts and overthinking it but something isnt right. Any advice?
