Hello, 

Not sure where to start but my anxiety is so high I feel writing things down may elevate some fears until I have my drs appointment.

I noticed a lump in my right breast on the right side quite deep down. It was a few weeks ago now and was maybe a week before my period.

I made a telephone appointment with the drs and that same day they offered me a face to face due to the nature of what it was, unfortunately I was at work all day and had to rearrange. They told me to ring up and make another appointment the next day which I did. They then could only offer a face to fave a week later which was Wednesday just gone, however I got covid and had to rearrange to this Wednesday coming.

Since finishing my period I believe the lump has reduced (I'm trying to feel for it less as I think I'm causing myself pain feeling and checking several times a day). I have since noticed (last couple of days) a pain in my right breast, a dull ache that comes and goes. I haven't needed pain relief but I very aware of the pain and its made me very fearful.

My right breast has always been bigger and I have put on weight, maybe an ill fitting bra? Maybe a pulled muscle from my right arm that radiates to my breast? I really don't know and my searching on Google is really not helping. I do believe its tender and never noticed it like this before. The anxiety is literally affecting my day to day living, whisky waiting for my gp appointment, and then the potential other referrals.
