Hi.
Im new to all this kinda stuff so excuse me if i go on a bit! =P
About 2 months ago, i found a lump in my left breast, behind my nipple, which is painless but quite hard. I left it to see if it would go but it didn't. So today i finally plucked up the courage to go to my GP and get it checked out!
Im only 18 so finding this was extremely worrying.
The doc was extremely re-assuring but as some as you may know, you still can't help but worry yourself sick!
He said because of my age, he "doubts" it isn't anything sinister but we all know it doesn't matter what age you are these days.
Anyway, he's referred me to a breast clinic for an ultra sound, which apparently is just routine just to make sure everything is ok! He thinks it could be "fibrocystic" lump or something along those lines, or a cyst. - although he's told me he doesn't think its anything dodgey...i still cant help but worry. Its constantly on my mind and its that bad this evening that i feel like crying...i just feel so down!
Am i being stupid or?
I just cannot wait to get this scan done, just so i can put my mind at ease...well hopefully put it at ease! I should have my appointment in about 2-3weeks with a bit of luck. He said that they are usually pretty quick with stuff like that.
I just cant help but think the worst..and i know my family, friends and boyfriend are there for me, but you know how it is. Im gonna try not to worry over these next few weeks, as i dont want to make myself ill!
Anyone been through the same?
What do you think it is?
Am i worrying for no reason?!
Anyway, thanks for reading and sorry if i went on a little.
