Breast band wagon.....AGAIN!!!

[motherof3girlies]

Okay let me start by saying I’ve kept my HA in check for about a year now. Everything in my life has been better because of it. Now recently a couple of people I know have been diagnosed with cancer and I’m going down that deep dark hole and I don’t want to. This year alone my breast have been checked physically by a dr 3 times and two different times by mammograms and ultrasounds. Just THREE months ago I had an ultrasound and a 3D ultrasound on my breast because of cyst and a milk duct they were watching. Now today I decided to do a self breast exam and I feel something, it’s sometging I’ve felt before and something that I even had them check and it was fatty tissue, but I’m going down that path of self doubt. “What if it isn’t the same thing?” “What if it’s something serious and I just ignore it?” I can’t go here again you guys, I’m already seeing my doctor today for this, crap. I’m 35, three young children and no history (that I know of) of breast cancer in my family. Please help me, my family can’t take another HA spriral. Thanks!

Hi! I'm sure with all that testing and doctors physical examining your breasts you are fine! I would bet on it! Just keep telling yourself rational thoughts like my doctor already felt this or I've had all the testing sorry ha not winning today! So much harder said than done! My h.a. started with a health scare in my last pregnancy and has gotten better but when it strikes it's so bad! I'd never wish this on anyone! I was at the derm today after doing so good. But anyways I honestly think you are fine. Breasts are lumpy and bumpy by nature! Lately when an irrational thought pops up lately I literally say in my head not today h.a. Or sorry OCD you aren't winning today lol! Stupid I know but it helps me!

Thank you for your reply. I went to my dr today and she did an exam and said I actually have lots of different lumps but nothing she felt was serious. She thinks I should actually see a breast specialist because of my scans (I have cysts and calcifications) she thinks because of my anxiety and my dense lumpy breast I’m not a good candidate for self breast exams. Anxiety and lumpy breast suck. She was my regular GP so I will verify all this with my GYN as well. She may just be referring me to this specialist because she thinks im crazy!!!
