I feel like I’m losing my mind.

@Chloe the worry has consumed me I’m just existing I feel awful for my daughter I’ve not been my usual self but it’s so hard. Thankyou for that I really hope it’s the same case. I know they said pain isn’t always associated with cancer it’s self to but I just can’t think straight. I’ve been so stressed my body has literally gone into shock and it’s aching all over which I didn’t even know was possible. Thankyou for your kind words
@Chloe I have been checked she could feel the lump I was on about. She wants me to go back at a different time in my cycle as it’s common in my age to have cystic changes or something. She said she couldn’t feel anything hard fixated or nasty. (Her words) but if the lump is still there by my next check up in 2 weeks she’s sending me to the breast clinic so they can have a look. I don’t know how to feel really. She did say if she had any concerns or worries she’d of referred me today. Just thought I’d update you x
Whilst I can appreciate it’s difficult to not have the certainty that comes with an ultrasound at the breast clinic, or second opinions etc. I do think it’s a real positive that she wasn’t at all concerned and you have a plan of action that if it doesn’t go away, you go back and get that referral just to double check. I was referred immediately for my lump and whilst grateful, and reassured it was just following protocol, I couldn’t help but spiral thinking that they wouldn’t refer if they weren’t worried and that it must be bad news etc- you can’t win in these situations I don’t think!
@Chloe Thankyou for your response. I’m so sorry you had to feel like that. Unfortunately I can understand that feeling and it’s not nice. Especially you having to be referred there and then. I’m glad your fit and well and Thankyou very much for talking me through this difficult time. Your words have helped me more than you know
I can absolutely understand the anxiety. I had a similar situation a while ago. It’s easy for the worry to take hold. Know that most lumps are not cancer. That the very vast majority turn out to be totally benign. I know that won’t bring reassurance at this time, but I hope that you don’t have to wait too long to get the checks that will put your mind at ease. Sending all the positive vibes your way.
