Thickening of breast tissue

SeekingSupport
Offline

Hi, new to posting and just hoping to find people experiencing anything similar. I have been experiencing pain in my left breast for around month, originally thought I had pulled a muscle. I had a gp appointment this week, to ease my mind more than anything as I felt I was becoming increasingly health anxious. Anyway the gp said they could feel thickening of tissue and I have been referred to the breast clinic. My breast is sometimes painful to touch underneath but i partly think this is because I'm prodding some much! 
 

I'm going a little out my mind to say the least! I have been on google and well in my head it's the absolute worse now. Any tips on managing the wait? Or anyone experienced anything similar? 
 

thanks :)
