About 2,5 months ago I noticed a big lump next to my breast. Lump is quite big (about 3,5 cm I think), quite hard, kind of movable but I'm not sure. I was freaking out. GP thought it could be a swollen lymph node, got urgently reffered for a breast ultrasound. Ultrasound showed my breasts were fine. It was not a lymph node. Doctor said it is 100% benign change probably on muscle or fat tissue. She repeated she was sure it is benign and to leave it alone. My GP also ordered blood tests, which were fine. I was sent on my way
I was fine with this, forgot about the lump, but secretly hoped it will go away.
Now I am freaking out again. It all started when I read some stuff on the internet about the doctor who performed the ultrasound. Some patients were complaining she is a bad doctor who mistreated them
I started to distrust what she told me. She is a gyno amd a breast specialist, how can she know if something on my muscle was cancer or not? How can she be so sure? I usually never do this, I always trust the doctors but now I am so confused. I Googled and read about soft tissue sarcoma and of course I am terrifed and wondering what if...this lump is kind of movable but muscles on the ribs also can move so it might as well be fixed to those muscles.
I think it hasnt grow in size. Looks the same to me. Thats good right?
It doesnt hurt, although since I poke it all day, I do get some discomfort in that area
I am thinking... If I had cancerous toumor of that size, surely something would be showing in my blood tests? And I think it would maybe get bigger. I dont know, I am desperate to try to comfort myself.
I really can't catch a break. Yesterday I found out I have 2 big cysts on my ovaries. I am so fed up and dont know what to do about this lump
Should I trust the doctor? She wouldnt say it's 100% benign if she wasnt sure? Right?
Please help I need some perspective. Should I go back to my GP and demand further tests? I am losing my mind
I am only 24 and so depressed about all this. Crying at the moment.
