Am I being a hypochondriac

Hi guys! 
haven't posted for a while, been feeling quite down really and not really knowing what to say. I've had a good positive weekend though! 
hope everyone is well. 

Ive started my egg freezing treatment now. I'm on day 4 of my Gonal F injections. It feels okay, weird injecting myself but I'm getting used to it. 
My boob where my cancer is is suddenly really painful. I've had 4 biopsies so I know it's bound to be a little bit swollen but they were like 2 weeks ago and I'm really worried and getting myself in a state that my cancer is growing rapidly!!! Am I being silly? Is it worth getting it checked? 
 

thanks!

    Hi Lucy,

    I'm gad to hear that you are coping with your fertility injections. You can expect your breast to remain sore for quite a while after your biopsy, especially when you have had 4. Mine was sore for a couple of months post-biopsy. I am not a doctor, but I suspect that what you are feeling is perfectly normal. I doubt that you would be left if your cancer was growing as rapidly as you suspect.

    I hope that you get your results soon.
    Kind regards,
    Jolamine xx
