Not sure if I’m over worrying

Hello

I recently noticed swelling coming and going in both armpits. And now a lump which has been there two months in right armpit, which aches sometimes and that right breast hurts more when palpating. I spoke to GP online, They referred me to breast clinic and I am waiting a month now and appointment is on 12th. I am also anaemic currently and very tired.  Part of me is anxious and googling what it could be but the other doesn’t want to waste the doctors time and keep wondering about cancelling the appointment.

anxious or two anxious

thank you  I don’t want to speak to any family or friends as I may make them worry unnecessarily. 

thanks for listening

  • Hi Rainbowlady2023,

    I can understand this uncertainty must be difficult - I'm sure there will be others here who have been through something similar, so hopefully you'll get some more replies here soon.

    Try to avoid Googling things as it's rarely helpful and the information will often be irrelevant, as well as tending to further increase worries. Equally, it's good to go to the appointment to get some answers. It sounds like you don't have too much longer to wait which is good.

    Wishing you all the best,
