Hi everyone.

I’m 24 years old and have always had issues with my left breast. It’s always been slightly bigger than the other one. About a month and a half a go, I went to my Gp after finding a lumpy bit of tissue behind my left nipple. He said he wouldn’t worry but refferred me to the breast clinic just to be on the safe side. I went and told them I was also having a lot of pain in that breast. I explained my right one was fine. I told them I waited til after my period to see if it was hormonal but nothing changed. They did an ultrasound of behind the nipple and said it was nothing to worry about, just a bit of excess tissue. The pain went for a while but now it’s back. The Gp gave me antibiotics incase of infection and told me that the breast clinic know what they’re doing and some women can experience this. The pain is still here. It’s not terrible, just uncomfortable. I have been wearing tight sport bras and put it down to that but wondered why it only affected one breast. 

I have googled and its telling me I’ve got breast cancer and reading other people’s forums makes me so scared. I don’t know what to do. Please help. I also have really bad anxiety, never suffered with health anxiety until now. I smoke and I’m convinced I’m going to die. It’s the worst feeling in the world.
