    Breast reassurance after appointment

    I’m back again heading down the breast spiral!
    I had been doing so well and all of a sudden had an urge to check my breast and it’s send me in a state of panic.
    I have small glandular breasts so lumpiness isn’t abnormal but what I felt was different. On the rub under the breast I felt a hard knot ( smooth but felt like bone with a bit of something stuck to it.
    I’m so sorry from pressing and feeling it that I managed to get a GP appointment this morning. A lovely doctor who very throughly felt my breast sitting and laying, arms up and down and said there was nothing she was concern about and what I feel it gladular tissue over the rib or just the way the rib sticks out a bit further but either way she’s not worried and told me to look at her in her eyes while she said “ I don’t feel anything I’m concerned about”
    But….. she said in a refer you for extra reassurance to the breast clinic I said I don’t want to u less she felt a need which she said I would not send so one who didn’t have anxiety for what Ian feeling it would just be for my piece of mind. I still said I’d rather not go down the route of test and test so she said she will see me again in 3 weeks for a check again( she told me not to check myself in the mean time) and to discuss my medication as she re started me on sertaline.

    Why can I let this appointment reassure me, why do I question if she actually felt what I feel?
    She was so nice and I left feeling great but an hour later I’m doubting it all.

    Does anyone else have this doubts after a reassuring appointment?

    Thank you 😊
