Scared I have breast cancer!

Hi, so I'm 26 and I have the worst Heath anxiety ever! I'm so terrible. But I really can't help it!..I've been feeling my breasts and I've noticed that the chest part of my left breast, the chest wall I believe it's called, is quite lumpy..and the harder I push down I can feel them.. and I'm so scared that it's breast cancer! I can't stop my mind from worrying..I do have a few veins on my breasts aswell so not sure if it's them. I'm going to ring my doctor tomorrow but I'm worried that he is going to put it down to my anxiety as he is aware that I suffer from it really bad..I felt my other breast and I think it feels the same I'm not sure..sometimes my mind goes overdrive and tells me that it isn't!..I just need some reassurance :) will be very grateful so I can get some sleep tonight x

    Hello! I'm almost 27 and have a a cluster of lumps on my chest wall too, along with a fibroadenoma and a few other lumps that have popped up recently. I have an urgent appointment with the breast clinic on Monday and I am terrified so I can sympathise! :( I'm also a mum to a 9 month old and currently breastfeeding. Sending love and hope your GP was helpful x

    Hey sweet!!!...they sound just like what I feel on my chest wall!!...I spoke to my doctor today! And reassured me that breasts can become lumpy! Especially when your hormones change!..and also! With the amount of research I have been doing! Breasts can also be lumpy while you're breast feeding!:) I completely understand how worried your are! I'm the worst for things like this!..I have faith for you though! I know it's easier said than done! But try to relax! Monday really isn't that far away! Im sure your beautiful baby is enough to keep your mind occupied :)...please update me as soon as you've been to your appointment :) good luck sweet xxxx
