So as most people suffering from health anxiety I'm extremely scared of cancer, and I try to suppress that fear but it will pop up every once in a while. Now my grandma had a mammography a few days ago and came back clean so I felt less nervous about at least breast cancer.
But I was going through tumblr today and I stumbled on a post talking about how dimples, not even a lump, can be a sign as well and that you should let yourself get checked if you have dimples somewhere on your breast. I am too scared to look right now but I'm sure I'll find something or that I'll think something is these 'dimples'. Seriously this post brought all my anxiety back, literally all the fear even for cancer in other parts of my body because apparently, the 'signs are so small'. I looked at the comments on the post but none were dismissing the claim, all were saying how important it was etc etc. It didn't make me feel any better.
And I didn't even google my symptoms...
