Drs - should I go and get a second opinion?

Hi. It's my first time posting.

I recently found a lump and went to my GP for them to check. She also felt the lump but wanted me to wait a few weeks to see if it goes down as because of my age and no history of the big C in my family and then if still there she will refers me to see someone else. 

Do you think I should go back and get a second opinion? Its probably nothing but I cannot stop thinking about it

Thank you x

    This is pretty normal for them to say this. I found a lump in my armpit and left it a good 4 weeks before going back and then was referred to the breast clinic who checked it out and was told it was nothing to worry about. 

    They say this just incase you could have a viral infection or a cold ect and it could just be lymph nodes swelling due to this. 

    But obviously it is up to you as its your body, i hope it turns out to be nothing. Xx
