Hi all,

I don't have anywhere else to turn to with this. I am so scared, I feel like I am having palpitations.

Apologies if this is in the wrong place or forum. I haven't had a cancer diagnosis but I am convinced something is really really wrong in my right breast.

I am 26. Went to GP in March 2019 as I thought my right breast felt a bit ropey but she said It was excess breast tissue.

Then the start of December I started getting sharp pain in my breast and nipple and in my shoulder blade and now armpit.

Went to the doctor again and she said my breast felt denser than the other and I would need an ultrasound.

My appt is for this Friday at 3pm.

Since then, I have had more symptoms, I can feel lumps in there and I could swear it feels warmer than the other.

Around the 13th of December, my breast started to look veinier and my nipple is darker than the other one.

I can't stop looking at them and poking and prodding at them.

I'm checking them around 8 to 10 times a day.

The pain is now so bad, I can only sleep on my back.

I am checking under my arms and lymp nodes and they feel harder than the other side of my body. It's like everytime I look or have a feel, I can find something else.

One part of me is trying to be rational but I feel controlled by some crazy anxiety that I have breast cancer.

Does anyone have the same symptoms?

I think I'm going mad.
