Oh dear, I'm been fretting over my breasts since last summer after I found a lump which I visited three different GPs at the A&E in London and also said it looked like cysts because I had them in both breasts.
I also had a full check up exactly one year ago which included blood tests, x-ray, a mammogram, and a CT scan of my chest. All clear.
Lately, I'm been worrying about my breasts and it's really bothering me. I just don't like to look at them because I'm scared if I see something that might resemble breast cancer.
Again, I've been consulting with Dr. Google (my sworn enemy!) and all my paranoia is back
I have no cancer in my family, but then I read stories about how one person got it without any history, or another had a mammogram that missed her tumour.
I can't sleep properly now and keep looking at my breasts and checking.
You know this all started because I felt very ill last summer from a pollen allergy that gave me breathing difficulties (all gone) along with registering with a horrible GP, but now I'm in such a fragile state about my health. I've never had health anxiety before.
That and I'm now 34 and realising I'm getting older than I feel
The fact that one breast is bigger than the other scares me along with feeling a long lump in my left breast
