I recently found a lump in my breast and went to the doctor. They found 2 additional lumps in my breasts and have put an urgent referral to the breast clinic for suspected cancer but they said it would likely be 4 weeks until the appointment and they could decided that my case isn't urgent without seeing me and bump me down the list. I can't distract myself with anything, I always get the intrusive thought that I may have cancer. So many women in my family have died of cancer, this week alone I've attended the funerals of 2 women who died of cancer. I'm also full of flu which doesn't help so I'm stuck in bed trying to recover and not able to be distracted by anything. I tried to do research today hoping that I would be able to persuade myself it's just a fibrosus lump but I've managed to convince myself otherwise. The main lump I found is in the upper outer quadrant of my breast. Its an irregular shape, hard and around 2 x 3 cm in length and width. I can't tell how deep it is because it's attached to the breast tissue. I had a twin miscarriage last year and I'm currently 33, turning 34 this year and I read the chances of developing breast cancer increases in women who become pregnant over the age of 30 and for those who weren't able to carry to term. I'm already not sleeping well because of the flu, adding the extra stress of possibly (feeling more like probably) having breast cancer is making sleep impossible. I'm so exhausted and stressed and have no appetite. I've lost weight recently and I'm always tired and now I'm reading into every symptom I've had in the last year and working myself up so much.
