The only reason I'm not posting this anonymously is if things are fine, and someone else comes across this thread whilst vigorously googling their symptoms (as I have been for the past couple of days) then they may find some comfort in this and can contact me through TSR if I'm still on it, I will however update the thread. Anyway, I found a lump near the top of my right breast (but not on it) and it is situated under my armpit. I am terrified and I've convinced myself it's a cancerous lump. I am going to the doctors soon but I'm terrified.
Here are all the reasons it could be cancerous: -It's like a hard bean
-It's under the skin and can't be seen, only felt.
-It's not painful.
Here are reasons it most likely is not cancerous: -I'm 18 so the chances are low, but that doesn't stop me worrying.
-It is smooth under the skin and moveable and doesn't feel attached to anything.
-It's pretty high up, it sort of misses my right breast so perhaps that means something.
-It hasn't changed in size.
-I have no other symptoms linked to breast cancer
-I don't have a family history.
Does anyone have experience of having this sort of thing and getting it checked out and being completely cleared of cancer by the doc? I'm scared
but on the plus side, I urge everyone to "check their breasts" (even guys) incase there is anything suspicious lurking in the area.
