So very frightened

I write this at 3.56am, can't sleep. Worried and quite frankly terrified. 
I've a hard lump on my left collarbone/clavicle. 
It's been there over a month, it's hard, not particularly painful and hasn't grown. 
I'm 52, my mother died from breast cancer, so, I'm sick with worry.

I've filled in an online form for my doctors, so I wait to hear back. 

I've had pain in my shoulders & joints for months, but put so much down to my age and the menopause (night sweats etc)

My husband doesn't believe in worrying, and doesn't talk much. I've no other family. 
I can't sleep with the worry.

  • I'm sorry love, I hope you manage some rest today. 
    I nodded, but, I've felt so sick and have been, that I can't settle to sleep. I just want to switch off. 
    I'm hoping to hear from my doctors within next 3 days! 

    You're right, it could drive you crazy and Googling doesn't help, I keep saying I'll stop and then I feel it's the only way I can cope with it. Thank you for replying.
