I am 38, have one beautiful daughter -16, and didn’t breast feed and am not on any contraception.
For weeks I’ve been experiencing random pains in my right breast. I had a breast specialist a month ago, mammogram and ultrasound of both breasts and all was ok.
However upon being breast aware and doing my checks. I was feeling my left breast, not the painful one, and squeezed it and felt a very palpable lump.
I’m so so scared I feel silly that so much time was focused on the right breast and that the left one was probably just skimmed and they’ve missed this.
I attended a private breast clinic on Monday at first the dr feeling it didn’t seem concerned, however when I went for the ultrasound the radiologist was concerned as it is solid I had a biopsy. Now the anxious wait for results.
They wouldn’t do another mammogram as I only had one in May so didn’t want to do another.
I am so scared and just trying to be strong as my daughter is struggling so I must be strong for her but my mind keeps racing to hair loss and death and I know that sounds so morbid but it’s like I can switch those thoughts off
