Offline Lil24 over 4 years ago

Hey lovely's

Looked up my pic of it compared to those on dr Google and now I'm a little frightened.

Hello Lil24,
Lumps can occur for all sorts of reasons, but you did the right thing in going to see the doctor When you are worried that you may have cancer, it can be tempting to look for answers online, but this can end up increasing anxiety rather than making you feel better. The only person that can diagnose you is your doctor, so please try to avoid this google. You can also read about urgent referrals here.
I hope this helps,
