Hello Lauriex please can you tell me what your cyst felt like. I’m out of my mind with worry

Hi Chelbel I still have some but the main one felt large, hard and sore. How are you doing?

Oh Lauriex I am in such an awful bad place today. My lump isn’t sore. Not a good sign apparently. It’s firm but moveable feels round (I think). Long story short there was a mix up with my appointment but consultant agreed to see me. He felt the lump, and saw I had a rash on my boob (gone now) and told me I needed a mamogram urgent. I don’t know if this was because of the rash or lump although he agreed the lump was moveable. Was yours moveable? I’m so depressed today. 

I’m so sorry to hear this- is there anyone you can talk to / offload to about how you’re feeling?. My mum had breast cancer 4 years ago and is fine now! 

When are your next appointments?

Thank you for answering Lauriex have mamogram and ultrasound on Monday. He slotted me in (there wasn’t really any more appointments) but as I say I’m not sure if it was because he was more worried about the rash. I hope so and it’s a red herring. Would a rash be more worrying??? I haven’t told my children and my partner knows but is largely ignoring it. 

Ok, how can you keep yourself calm enough until Monday? Do you have nice weekend plans? 

It’s hard not to speculate etc but try and remember that even if it IS the worst case, things are so so treatable.  Partners can be tricky… is there anyone else you could talk to? Keeping it to yourself must be making your stress levels higher? x

 Lauriex I have a friend who I’ve been texting but I’m not sure it’s helping. I’m just in this zone. The thought of more waiting terrifies me nearly as much. I know there is nothing I can do about it. I keep comparing my symptoms to others 

Anxiety is such a normal response. Try and be really really kind to yourself over the coming days. 

 Lauriex  hello sorry to post again was your cyst moveable and smooth?? Soft or firm?
