Hi all, sorry in advance for the slightly long post. 

I'm 23 years old and petrified that I might have breast cancer. I feel terribly alone in this all because I have nobody to relate to. I've got my breast clinic appointment in 10 days and the wait is horrible. It will have been 1 month since the doctor referred me and 6  weeks since my initial mammogram. To cut a long story short, I was living abroad and had a full health check including a mammogram. It showed something like 'nodular opacity' on my left breast with a partial  margin. But it also said that I had dense breast tissue and would need to have an ultrasound etc to find out more. Since then I've had some red spots appear on my breast, not hugely noticeable except for one that mimics a very red pimple. And a VERY light brown looking freckle on my areola. (Perhaps it was always there and never noticed, but I don't think so). I got those checked out by the nurse practitioner and she said they didn't look infected and wasn't concerned but was glad I was going to the breast clinic to see what was going on inside. She also felt both breats and said I had generally lumpy breasts but they both felt the same and couldn't distinguish any lump. (Same for me, I cannot feel this lump my mammogram picked up). 
 

Anyway, I cannot stop thinking about it all and feeling so down and alone waiting for the breast clinic and absolutely terrified of the worst. 
I'm obviously not looking for a diagnosis here or whatever, I'm just sick of feeling alone, feels like every where I look or watch TV there's something about cancer and it sends me into a panic. 

I'm trying to be positive but any tips for dealing with the wait and lonliness would be much appreciated! 
 

thank you for reading my vent x
