I'm 35, no kids and generally healthy apart from mental health problems.
Found a lump in my left breast whilst showering a while ago but thought nothing of it. The past 4 weeks maybe, I've had pain under my armpit and down the side of my breast. The lump which was pea sized now feels a lot bigger and my breast is swollen at the top and side nearest my arm. I have upper back pain particularly shoulder blades and collar bone area and feel exceptionally run down and tired all of the time.
I've been scared but bit the bullet and went to see my GP yesterday. I thought she would say I had a pulled muscle but she could feel exactly what I felt. I am now awaiting an emergency referral to go to hospital for tests. Best case scenario is that it's a cyst but what if its something more serious
My mum had a scare a few years ago in her right breast which turned out to be calcium growth. She is very supportive but has her own health issues so I don't want to burden her with my fears and upset.
I thought by joining this group I could get a bit of information about people's experiences and get some advice.
I guess I'm fearing the worst I know but can't help but worry can you?
