Not been on this site for years, but still taking medication for anxiety.
earlier this week I found a thickened area in my breast. I went to the GP and he said he’d refer to the breast clinic regardless of his examination, as I’d noticed a change.
He examined me anyway, and checked LN under arms and neck. He said I had a slightly enlarged LN above my right collarbone.
He sent the referral to the breast clinic and I asked “if all is ok in breast, what do I do about this LN?”
He said to just ignore it.
ok- so off I went to Google and I and now convinced I have lung cancer that’s spread.
no breast cancer- lung cancer.
I’m more worked up that he found it and not me- so surely that’s concerning hey.
I’m so upset and annoyed that I’m now 100% on spiral mode. I’m even finding people online with the same symptoms who have cancer, and becoming obsessed with their stories.
not sure if I need reassurance or sympathy- but felt I needed to reach out for help.
