Hello
I've been reading this forum for weeks and it's been a great comfort. I am waiting for a diagnosis but I am certain I have breast cancer. I am only 28 (29 at the weekend). I have very lumpy breasts anyway and have intermittent pain in the left side which gets worse around my period and mid cycle. I've always assumed I was too young for anything wrong and as both breast are lumpy (although the left is worse) I put it down to hormones.
I was being investigated for reactive lymp nodes in my neck when I found a large lump in my left armpit, I am sure this was new. Fast forward a couple of weeks and lymph nodes in the same armpit have swollen, I've noticed a lymph node under my collarbone is swollen and I have burning pain in my
breast and nipple. I'm also sure the same nipple is more inverted than the other side but again I wasn't checking before.
I'm convinced I have advanced cancer and it's in my lymph nodes. I spend every moment googling everything and cannot sleep. I am crying constantly and in lockdown alone and I just feel so broken. I just don't see what else it could be with this combination of symptoms.
I have an appointment at the breast clinic next Friday but I don't know how to make it until then, I am a mess. I am an anxious person anyway and it's horrible!
Any support out there would be so welcomed.
thank you xxx
