I’m 23 years old and I’m totally panicking that I’ve got breast cancer. I’ve got big boobs and lately when I lay on my stomach i’ve been feeling like my left breast is harder than the other (I do tend to lean more on my left side so maybe thats it) so i checked my breasts today and the lower inner part of both of my breasts (like where the bra wire goes) feel a little harder and lumpy, not big hard lumps but if I keep feeling and pressing I can feel them. In the left breast it feels slightly a tiny bit harder but thats my bigger breast. I asked my mum to feel and she said they dont feel like lumps just like muscle but of course I don’t believe her. I suffered really bad with health anxiety and worry over my breasts three years ago but since being on medication I haven’t worried about it until now.
I’m due on my period tomorrow or the day after so apparently that can make it lumpy but I cant stop worrying and I feel sick thinking about it. I’m convinced I’ve got breast cancer. There is no family history of breast cancer in my family and I know its rare at my age but I cant think rationally and I just feel terrified. I also found out this week that a friend was diagnosed with hodkins lymphoma And my mum thinks this may have triggered this. I just feel so helpless and terrified and like I know its something awful :’(
