Good morning, all.
Firstly let me be clear I’m not seeking medical reassurance here, I know that is (sadly!) not realistic. Just after some advice and perhaps some solidarity.
Long story short found a lump underneath my left breast in August of 2018. Had my wife check it and the fact that it seems to be smaller than a pea and moveable reassured me. Fast forward abit, 2020 hits and it gets stuck in my head somewhat and schedule a doctors appointment late October. He feels it and says it feels like a lipoma perhaps or cyst but he’ll book an ultrasound to put my mind at rest. Sadly second lockdown struck and it looks like possibly next year before I get my scan.
Now the lump hasn’t changed in all this time,’t chest and armpit feel kinda sore but that could well be me poking it all day everyday. The doctor said it’s not attached to breast tissue and he’s not concerned. I also managed to shine a light through it as the doctor did when I went for a lump checking in the nether regions and it’s completely translucent.
Anyway, basically I’m going abit stir crazy without being able to get an answer. You know where you don’t want to touch a whole area as the lump just feels massive (in your mind!) don’t even like seeing myself topless as my eye just starts inspecting my chesticles!
Any advice much appreciated.
Hope you’re all well!
