I'm so sorry I feel like I'm annoying everyone that I keep posting here but my anxiety is just killing me the past few days and I'm trying really hard to stay away from google because that just makes it so much worse.
Basically I'm posting right now because I can feel that one of my breasts is a lot firmer than the other. And when I say firmer, I mean it feels like the breast tissue is closer to the surface of the skin than the other and I'm absolutely terrified it's cancer.
I should also add that I'm 19 years old (20 in 2 days time) and there is no history of breast cancer or any type of cancer for that matter in my family. I was also diagnosed with fibrocystic breast changes back in March and a symptom of them is lumpiness and thickening of the breast (which is what I'm experiencing right now) but I'm just so so so terrified it's not the fibrocystic breast changes and that it is cancer :( I should probably also add that I just started taking birth control pills the past few weeks. I'm on the last week of the first pack right now so these changes might also be caused by that? And the lumpy areas are very sore when I press in on them but that's probably because I spent about 5 minutes last night pressing in hard on them. The lumpy area is in my left breast and I'll add that my left breast had always been a bit bigger than my right so could it feel thicker because of that too?
If anyone could help reassure me that I'm absolutely fine and there's nothing at all for me to be worried about, I'd greatly appreciate it! The anxiety is making my life hell right now :(
Thank you so much!
