Hi guys, so I am panicking about a health concern, which I have now had for a loooonnnng time... I am so mad at myself for never telling anybody about it, or attempting to find out what was wrong. Crazy I know - worry about my health non stop, yet don't seek help about something that has made me ultra worried for years.
OK, so basically I have some kind of lump / mass in my upper left chest, a couple of inches above my nipple, it feels pretty big from what I can tell and is quite hard, but not really that painful - just feels a bit uncomfortable if I press it too much. Also feels as though there are some sort of ridges / bumps across it, although it isn't that uneven. I have occasionally had some sharp pains in the area, but they have only lasted for a second or two and I do also get a few dull aches there too, from time to time.
I've convinced myself it is cancer and that it must be serious, although I am guessing its unlikely as I've had it there for about 10 years now - I know, I know the ultimate case of burying my head in the sand due to fear... Such stupidity on my part. I finally feel like I have a little more confidence and may go to my doctor about it... Was just hoping for a few words of comfort and advice from you guys :)
Thanks a lot for reading.
