I am struggling to cope with my cancer phobia, at the moment I am absolutely convinced I have a lump in my breasts and after numerous visits to the dr's to check my breasts I cannot even look at my breasts let alone touch them.
My worry at the moment relates to a few months back when I happened to touch the area of skin just below my collar bone and I was sure I felt something like a lump so I went to the dr's and he was very good and checked the area in question and even got me to come back a week later to check again. Although I was relieved he couldn't feel anything I keeping getting the worrying thought what if he didn't check the correct area? what if I didn't direct him in the right area? what if I have let this "lump" spread and its beyond treatment? I just don't believe my dr and I don't believe myself - any help or reassurance would be greatly appreciated. I recently had blood tests for something else - they were all normal if I had cancer would something show if my blood tests?
