I’m an avid checker of my breasts since my mum has had two benign breast lumps in the past and she’s not long had the all clear from a rare type of ovarian cancer which resulted in a full hysterectomy. I’m not sure if this just makes me more paranoid, so I don’t want to go to the drs to be told it’s just normal. I’ve been feeling more lumps and bumps under and around my left nipple for the past maybe month, some under the breast towards the middle near the cleavage too. However they’re not there every time I check but when they are there they are always in and around the same areas. Now I know some lumps and bumps are normal but I’m positive I didn’t have these ones previously. So I don’t know if it’s just me being silly. I also have no idea how to explain any of this to my GP. I’m worried I’ll go and the lumps won’t be there so I’ll just look stupid for making the appointment. I know it’s not stupid to get checked with any changes deep down because the earlier the better but my anxiety just plays tricks on me. Any help or advice would be appreciated and if anyone has had the same I’d appreciate some stories on how you explained it to a GP… TIA
