I found a lump on Friday, saw GP Monday who confirmed lump with surrounding lumps and made the referral - My clinic appointment is next week, 12th.
I have had lumps before - very lucky to be nothing just a case of lumpy boobs.
Family history of breast cancer in mums side (both mum and nan) before 30 so i've been extra cautious with checking my boobs and getting to know my body. Just turned 29, so naturally worried it's 'my turn'.
Have recently had extremely painful and swollen neck glands, pain and swelling comes and goes but been going on for around 6 weeks now. GP first said viral infection, second telephone appt they agreed to do exam and then said it's muscular. I didn't agree - I have connective tissue disorder so lots of symptoms are easily chucked in that box. Now wondering if it's been my warning signs!
Tricky as I also have an impacted tooth in maxillo facial region so could be that too.
Also recently stopped contraception so could be hormonal changes.
Menstrual cycle is up the wall - First no period for months, now been bleeding for 11 days! Do have PCOS and endo additional.
Potentially pregnant but too early for tests to detect and not thinking it's likely because of the prolonged bleeding but stranger things have happened.
Clearly winding myself up, racking my brains wondering what this could be attributed to - Probably a defense mechanism to protect myself from jumping down the deep dark rabbit hole.
If you read this far, thank you - Didn't know where else to vent.
