Hiya I'm seeing my gp today because I think I have some dimpling in my right breast I've been googling prodding  and poking that now I can feel lumps all over my breast and they are so sore doesnt help that I am due on so do have tenderness already but have made it much worse I never ever go to the doctors for fear I feel sick anxious half contemplating in cancelling I really feel like I can't cope 

Sorry you're feeling so anxious. I'm exactly the same and I didn't want to see the doctor either. It is always best to get any breast changes checked out, hopefully it is nothing but it's best to check. The GP might even be able to give you something to ease your anxiety too. Wishing you the best of luck and let us know how you get on x

Ty I don't want to take medication if possible I ain't one for meds but if I can't get this under control that might be the only option as it is effecting me that bad I have things I cud get on with but feel so anxious I just want to go to bed and wake up and all be OK I haven't stopped prodding g poking etc all morning and I feel the dimpling isn't as bad as first thought cud even be my scars and saggy tissue but now I feel I have multiple lumps etc in breast 

I was the same as you when I first found mine but I was making myself worse and the area more sore so I had to stop myself! It's still on my mind constantly though. I don't blame you with medication but anxiety really can make you feel physically ill and has done with me. I've always been anxious but since losing my Mum to cancer (not breast) I'm even worse now. I try to keep busy and stay calm but it's far from easy. I really hope you have a good outcome  and please do let us know. x

I'm sorry for your loss of your mum . My mum is currently battling lung and brain cancer which I think has intensified my fears yes this anxiety is probably worse than going to see the doctor I hope yours is OK aswell I'm glad in a way I can release my fears here without feeling like a prat and also to stop bugging my family 

Thank you. I am sorry to hear about your Mum too. I think it definitely makes healthy anxiety worse as we often have an idea of it doesn't happen to me and then when someone close is battling cancer it makes us face reality that anyone can. It definitely helps to talk to others on here going through it. My husband is very laid back and doesn't understand my anxieties sometimes. Hopefully it's all nothing to worry about.

It certainly does help here my partner is laid back but I've got to a point I'm checking every day saying  I can feel.a lump.of this and that I think in all honesty it drains him as he doesn't understand he says don't panick until there's something to panick about which I do get but easier said than done please keep us updates
