I'm 22 and for years I've had pain in my left breast. It has always been dismissed as growing pains and period pain so I've ignored it. I noticed recently that my left breast (which has always been bigger) feels very firm around the top area which the pain was coming from. The past 2 years I've had pain (which is occasional) spread to my shoulder or armpit. I will note my breast has always felt lumpy, so I've always struggled feeling for lumps because everything feels like a lump. 

Anyway after concerns from the firmness I went to the Dr who said it was fibroadenoma or fibourious tissue but has referred me to a specialist. Since being referred I haven't gone to work or got out of bed. I'm struggling to eat , sleep and find myself touching my breast all the time checking for changes. 

I'm so scared of going to my appointment and being told the worst because there's alot I wanna do with my life. I know I'm probably overreacting but it's so hard. My appointment isn't for another 2 weeks and I'm worried I'm going to make myself Ill from not eating and stressing but all I wanna do is lie in bed and cry.
