Wow .. can’t believe I’m back here it’s been 6 years that I’ve managed to have my HA under control.
Back story, my father was diagnosed with lung cancer stage 4 (he was a very heavy smoker) in January and passed away in April since then my terrible fear of cancer has returned. Apart from my father and a first cousin who had breast cancer (now in remission) nobody else in my family has ever had cancer.
I’m a 28 year old female btw do not smoke or drink and never have. I was checking my breasts as us women do and noticed my breasts seem quite glandy / fibrous I’m not too sure how to explain it. But if you look up a diagram of inside a breast I feel like I can feel all the ducts ect. I became a bit obsessed and started checking my breasts obsessively and feel like I’m my left breast the “glandy fibrous” stuff I feel is very prominent in one area, it’s not solid or a well formed lump. It is soft and moves but I can’t describe what exactly it feels like. I picked up the courage to go to my gp who examined me and said it feels like a fibroadenoma and she wasn’t concerned at all but is referring me for a ultrasound under the 2Week referral and Ofcourse I’m panicking now that something is terribly wrong and am convinced I have breast cancer. I have been searching fibroadenoma and they’re described online as feeling like marbles or peas. Mine do not feel like that they aren’t well defined lumps they feel more like softish gristle but I’m panicking so much if it’s not fibroadenoma then maybe it is cancer. Please ladies any advice :(
