Hi, im new so im so sorry if this doesn't fall into the correct category im looking for some advice on my situation, last week In the shower I noticed some discolouration to the nipple on my right breast after closer inspection iv found a lump just to the right of my nipple it wasnt visible and im in no pain with it I rang the doctor and was seen in the surgery the day after, during the breast exam the doctor found another lump on the outer edge of my breast towards the armpit area and noted I had a few enlarged nodes and as a result hes referd me to the breast clinic on an 'urgent referal' iv already got my appointment for the 26th so not long and it falls within the 2ww range so im grateful for that but after leaving the surgery I got curious and started 'googling' and what iv discovered has made me physically sick with fear... iv had recurrent hip/pelvic pain for at least 12 months it was investigated with an ultrasound and a smear both where completely normal and I was written of as having ibs I know it definately isn't a bowel or digestive issue but iv never returned instead opting to mask the pain with paracetamol and ibuprofen this pain has steadily gotten worse its constant, dull and aches so bad at night when I'm resting its driving me to despair, iv also recently become aware of a shooting pain in my right arm when I'm driving that comes radiates into my scapula then dissipates this isn't constant so iv ignored it.. I mentioned nothing of this to the doctor during the breast exam I wasn't asked about any pains or troubles elsewhere other than my breast which is completely pain free and after reading Google iv learned these are signs of metastatic bc and now im kicking myself for keeping quiet out of shame of feeling like id be branded a hypochondriac. Should I of said somthing, should I ring them and tell them or should I just wait and mention it at the breast clinic appointment I'm 34 with 4 children im beyond terrified at this point. If you've taken the time to read this lengthy post thankyou in advance xxx
