I've rung my GP, I will hopefully hear from them soon.
You phoned your GP didn't you?
I am empathetic as it goes, but I also know a lot about health anxiety.
Reading your post, you come across an avoider and I didn't want to go with the 'tea and sympathy' approach with you because avoiders are looking for any excuse not to go to their GP's. There's anxiety, and there are physical issues which need looking at - such as lumps!
If you phoned your GP on the back of my comment, then it's job done. What matters is that you took responsibility for your health.
Simon, I have three sons, and I would want someone like me to kick them up the @rse - not say anything that might give them false reassurance..
I apologise if I've caused offence, but I'd also rather you be offended than not go to your GP with this.
Similarly, I'm not exactly appreciative of your passive-aggressive response - which confused the hell out of me until I read the other comments! If you have a problem, talk to me, not about me.
I hope all goes well at the doctors.
