I know this is quite a long post, but please if you could bear with me and read it if you can, I would truely, truely be so greatful and will help in return in any way I can. Thank you so much.
Hi guys, well I lasted about a week without getting any major fears about my health. Although obviously some kept creeping up.
But now i've been sitting since about 4 o'clock, absolutely shaking and crying about this fear. :weep:
It's the breast cancer fear again :weep:
Basically I was doing really well at accepting the fact my left breast was warmer than the other (after chronic fear of imflammatory breast cancer and 2 trips to the docs who said everything was ok). I finished my period and my left it still slightly warmer, this wasn't really worrying me,
BUT all last week the same breast has been pretty tender and I get random pains in it. The other one isn't that bad. I'm not on my period. But I am at the fertile stage right now, i'm not sure whether this can cause breast pain, especially in one breast.
Okay but THIS is whats REALLY worrying me.
I found a red mark, I can't really remember exactly what it looked like because I immediately felt sick and terrified, but it was a small red spot type thing, I think it had a little scab on it. So I sort of picked at it :| And I think it might be an in-grown hair. So I got the tweezers and started pulling at whatever was there. And it sort of feels like there is quite a few splinter type things there. (I know that sounds dramatic, it's more on a minimal level) Like I can pull at something and it sort of rises up, but I can't get it out.
I have NO idea if it is just an ingrown hair - and if so, should I just ignore it? Will it go away? Or is it just fiberus breast tissue or something? I've been prodding and pulling at it with tweezers and it's bleeding now because of that. So I used some anti bacterial spray and had a bath, etc.
But i'm so, so worried it's basically a sign of breast cancer, like some sore or something :(. And i'm worried there's something underneath the skin too.
I'm not sure if I should go to the DR's again, because I don't know if this will just repeat my worry cycle.
If anyone could help me out here I would REALLY, REALLY appriciate it. So so much. I just can't stop thinking about it and I can't relax. I keep thinking the worst as usual.
Thank you for reading if you have. Anything at all might help me here.
Love :hugs:
