Hi. I've been reading through all the "breast" posts on here, but I still feel in desperate need of reassurance.

To cut a long story short, I have terrible HA, and, about six months ago became very paranoid about my left breast, even though I couldn't actually feel anything. I went to a gynae and he said it was fine, but for some idiotic reason, a few weeks later I went to a different one, who found a tiny lump. She referred me to a specialist with more specialised equipment, and I had an ultrasound. The thing is he found NOTHING. No lump, nothing. When I told the other Dr she said, "well, there was SOMETHING there, but come back in 3 or 6 months." And that was that.

The thing is I have little faith in this gynae, as, if she really thought the specialist had made a mistake, she would have asked me to go back immediately, right? I really don't want to see her again, so have gone to my local private dr, who has checked me out 3 times, and done an ultrasound. He says everything is fine, but I can't get over what the gynae said. It's been almost six months now, and the truth is I can't feel anything strange at all, but I'm terrified.

My local Dr said the most likely thing is that it was a cyclical lump, and it's true the gynae saw it just before my period, but then why didn't the specialist see it? Apparently he is completely reliable and is known for being thorough, but I can't help wondering whether he made a mistake.

I'm going crazy with worry. Has anyone had a similar experience?

Oh, I guess I should mention I'm 30, with no family history of anything terrible.
