Petrified I have cancer

Hello

I am 38 and recently noticed an oval shaped lump on the outside of my right breast between that and my armpit, it’s moveable but solid. I went to the gp and she has referred me to the breast clinic. I go on Tuesday and I’m petrified of what they are going to tell me. I also have noticed when I put my arms up, the right anxillary is larger than the left and feels lumpy. No pain but I ache down my right arm and into my shoulder. Wondering if it’s psychological. And upper back ache. But I do have bad posture.

I have googled googled googled and feel horrendous it’s all bad news.

I have had an enlarged lymph gland on my right side of my neck since about 6 months old and in the last couple of years I now have numerous clusters of lumps in the same place. The dr has felt these numerous times and say they are nothing but it’s got me wondering if I now have lymphoma? 

anyone else had this?

thank you x

  • Hi Livingfortoday,

    I hope that you are not too uptight tonight to get some sleep before you go to the clinic. Worrying about your daughter is natural, but no amount of worry will change anything. Try not to look too far into the future, until you know what you have to deal with. As I said above, take things day by day, or even hour by hour if need be. Here's hoping that all goes well for you.

    Kind regards,

    Jolamine xx
