I have a long history of all females in my mums side of the family having breast or ovarian cancer. 

I am. Not a. Smoker or heavy drinker. 

My periods have changed of late and out of the normal for me I would say. Bleeding is heavy with clotting one cycle of which was very large clots and what seemed flesh tissue. It did scare me but thought I would see what my next cycle was like. It was much of the same but not as many clots this time. I am not on any contraception and haven't since having my son 4 years ago although it took a while for me to. Conceive as was having ireegular periods having come off my contraceptive. Now my cycle is what I would say more regular but can be from 7-10 days in length although I haven't fallen pregnant in this time either? 

I then had a swollen breast which I have had previously about 6 months ago. Swollen. And painful. My GP said it was mechanical issue in my shoulder. I felt really let down. I have been scanned for breast lumps. Int he past which were cystic lumps fro. The scan. But I have never had swelling. So when this happened this time and I also had pain and swell g in my arm pit in just one side the same breast as before with sharp shooting pains down my arm and towards my nipple I was scared it was 1 week before my culycle and thought it had to be connected but went to GP to be checked. I has the worst shambolic breast assessment he said he couldn't feel. Anything and for me to just wait until my next cycle had finished and if it is still the same to come back. Nearly over a week after my cycle no change but now started to have sharp. Pains in one side of my ovaries too swelling in lower abdomen and heavy dull pain too. I went back for second opinion with a female doctor she carried a full breast examination and said yes she can feel a few lumps. Around the breast and could see it was swollen and larger than the other. My blood results came back good and healthy so she has reffered me for to scans one for my breasts and one for lower abdomen. My breast is still. Painful and swollen and am very anxious about it being something more serious that has been overlooked.

I have had no discharge from the nipple. Or. Puckering but I have noticed tonight the dark area around my nipple with a indented line ever so. Slightly. I am. Worried how. Long it will take. My scans to. Come through with covid. Should I be worried and is it worth going private to fast track this for peace of. Mind. 

Apologies for the long post but feel my body just hasn't been right at all this last year and could all of. It be connected. By hormone levels in blood test came back good and OK. 

The doctor said I may have a water infection and the lump is cyctic but I cannot help but worry. My experiences of family. Members in the past being mis diagnosed or. Too late has ended in fatal shortened life span. 

Any re assurance or support would be most appreciated.
