I have chronic health anxiety. On Saturday. I felt a thickening / lump in right breast. Prodded, poked and googled all weekend. Managed to get a gp appointment this morning. Gp can feel thickening and has referred me to breast clinic. Now my mind is in overdrive, even more so than before. I didn't routinely do checks so terrified that I could have cancer and its been there for ages and spread. I know, I know Dr Google is no good for anyone. But my health anxiety is so severe. I am 49 and have been taking HRT patches for 2 years now. I asked my GP what they thought and they were very non committal but did say they refer everyone and take no risks. Said they would try and fast track my referral because of my mental health. I am very scared. Just want to reach out to some people
