How to.stop googling making myself ill

I was told the lump in my breast was a fibroadenoma  . I googled why they would remove it and came across a phyllodes tumor. My lump.is 4cm and i read that  fibroadenoma  stop growing at 3cm . I am now worried it will a phyllodes tumor. Why do I make things worst by googling and is the information  right. And has anyone had a fibroadenoma  that is 4cms 

 

  • Ah Dr. Google. We all do it. Most people say we shouldn't, but that doesn't stop us! Now I'm not a medic but googling fibroadenoma looks good to me! First, it's common, and second it's benign. Hooray! Benign is the best word in the world here on this site! Your phyllodes tumor theory looks unlikely to me because this tumour is very rare. OK, they are removing it. Probably because 4cm is on the larger side. But I honestly don't see why you should be making yourself ill with worry. Try to relax, trust the medics, and keep telling yourself that the lump is benign, because this is precisely what you have been told by the experts. You'll be fine. Best wishes. Harry 

  • The doctor said he  will check again in three months time and remove it if it gets  bigger but because of the pandemic they cant do it yet .  He laughed when i said I worried , hopefully I  can get a different doctor .
