Hi
I have major breast cancer fears - most of my anxiety / OCD is fixed around this. Anyway I have a phobia of checking my own breasts and since my cbt have bee building up my confidence to check myself - as ive never really done it properly I dont really know what they feel like normally. So the other day i checked and found a lump on the left one - but i thought i could feel similar type lumps on both. So I went to the gp in a panic and asked him to check - he could feel what i could feel but said it was normal and that i have fibrous breast tissue and that he would refer me to breast clinic if i wanted - so i said is that just to put my mind at rest and he said yes - he wasnt worried. So i went away feeling a bit more positive - anyway i had a major freak out this morning - back to the gp - he referred me to breast clinic - he said if you still have questions a week later maybe we should refer you. I also asked to go on anti-depressants as Im at the end of my tether - I cant cope with this anymore
Does anyone else have breast probs ?
