Can’t stop worrying.


I'm new to this forum, x

I've had pain in my left underarm, I thought it was from being in the same position bottle feeding my almost 1 year old. It radiates to my back shoulder blade  at times.
I had a check x ray for another issue a while back, and wondered if it would have showed anything serious within a normal chest X-ray about my breasts. 
 

Today I went to the gp and she said part of my breast felt thicker/denser. I've been referred for a scan but I can't stop thinking about it. I'm so worried.

    Hi Worrywart,

    Welcome to our forum.

    I am sorry to hear about the pain you are experiencing in your underarm and shoulder. Only about 1 person in 8 referred to the breast clinic turns out to have cancer. There are a number of different causes of the type of pain you describe, so I sincerely hope that the cause of yours is more trivial than you expect.

    Do please let us know how you get on. We are always here for you.

    Kind regards,

    Jolamine xx
