Terrified I have breast cancer

I have been getting pain in my right breast for sometime now. I had the shingles on my back right behind my right breast last December & I now get tingles & pain in my arm. The doctor has not felt any lumps & checked me over a few times. I was also at the breast clinic in Dec for a check but not a scan. Nothing was wrong. I check my breasts at least 10-15 times a day, touching them, looking at them to see if they look different. I am a mum & so terrified that there is something wrong. I've been referred back to the breast clinic for a scan as my doctor wants me to have peace of mind but it's taking ages & the longer it goes on the worse I get. It's all I think about all day from the minute I wake up. I've got a one year old & a 10 year old & im so terrified of something happening to me & I won't be here for them. 

  • Hi hun 

    Please just try to not worry I no it's easier said than done as I found a lump in my breast a couple of years ago and thought the worst and it was all I thought about I got myself in such a state but turned out to be a fatty lump..... take comfort that you have already been seen and there was nothing too concerning for them as they would of scanned you right away....

    Mum fear is the worst..... but positive pants on now until your scan :happy:

  • Thanks so much hun. I know it's awful eh? Hopefully have an app in the next couple of weeks. Yeah the mum fear is awful. Thank you ️
