Hi all
I'm writing this as I fret and worry about my appointment tomorrow. I've had lots of tears tonight.
I'm 36 (just turned 36 in May) and last week I noticed that one side of my armpit fat looked fatter than the other. I'm not overweight but I do have those little bits where my arms meet my sides. If that makes sense.
Anyway, I went to the GP as my mum had breast cancer in 2014 and she (the GP) wasn't sure what it was. She said it could be a fatty lump but she wasn't sure and because of my mum's history she referred me to breast clinic.
She examined both breasts and couldn't feel anything else and I don't think she could feel any lymph nodes - if she did she didn't say. I've had occasional pain in my armpit. It's nowhere near constant pain and is more like a stretch pain when I put my arm out to the side.
I'm panicked because I can't remember exactly what the GP said. I'm panicking because I'm thinking the worst. I fell over running, flat on my front with outstretched arms on 30.5.20 and I had wondered if it could be linked but I think I am deluding myself.
I don't know how I should be feeling but I am terrified.
