Hi everyone,

I've booked in to see a breast consultant at a local private hospital, as my GP thinks my pain is hormonal (despite not seeing me in person) and the pain only being in one breast.

My left breast is larger than my right one, it's lumpy and tender, so it's so difficult to feel for any lumps because the whole breast is very dense feeling. I get a pain that aches on the outer edge and goes into my armpit. I'm only 26 and I could tell my GP thought I was being dramatic for asking for a private referral. My question is, am I being dramatic with my age and symptoms? It's obviously not cheap but I'm willing to pay it, as I don't feel satisfied with a diagnosis over the phone. I'm naturally a worrier so I can't help but think about it!
