Getting lump checked

Offline Reddeb over 5 years ago

Hi

I had a mammogram last year they said it was a fibroadenoma

They couldn't take a fluid sample as it was small and i have inplants

Over the year it has grown alot

It hurts to touch it moves slightly

I had a mammogram yesterday they could take fluid because no dr

So i have to go back Monday

My periods have just stopped

I am 49yrs old

Iv had shoulder pain since a car accident 5 yrs ago they say its a build up of calcium

The trouble with Google i cant stop looking and im in so much fear at the moment

Keep thinking the worse

Has anyone else had the same experience? X

Hi Reddeb,
Welcome to Cancer Chat. I'm sorry to read about your worries at the moment and of course it's perfectly understandable given the uncertainty.
I know it's easier said than done but try not to worry too much until you know more. Some people say it helps to keep busy and distracted to keep your mind off things.
It's also a good idea to stay away from Google as the information is often irrelevant or out of date, and not specific to you.
I see your appointment is today so I hope everything goes OK - and do make sure you ask any questions you have too.
Wishing you all the best,
Ben
