In absolute bits!

I'm so terrified that I'm riddled with cancer and can't help but fear the worst. 

I found a long hard lump (feels tubular) that goes from my nipple up about 3 inches. When I raise my arms it causes a puckering. I have of course googled this and I can only find the cause of this to be a tumour. I now have a pain in my arm pit on that side and my hand is starting to feel numb.

Has anyone experienced anything like this and the outcome not to be cancer?? 

I have scan booked for next Wednesday but I'm going out of my mind with worry.

  • Hello Liz,

    This sounds awful and I completely understand your anxiety... really sounds if you are going through the mill.

    I note that on this website there is a live chat function with a nurse or indeed you can phone.

    Why don't you give those a go as I'm sure it wil help talking it through?

    Good luck and best wishes.

  • Thanks Adrian, I'm not sure how I'd manage a phone call talking about it as I've been so emotional. 

    I know I should stop googling and wait till I know what I'm dealing with but that's a lot easier said then done.

    I'm really trying to stay positive but my body feels warn out and I  can't shake the feeling that it's not going to be good news
