Freaking out a little....

Amy, try not to fret too much, it's fantastic that you are getting it checked out so promptly but it's also helpful the remember that the vast majority of lumpy bits turn out to be benign, especially in young women. Pain is not usually an indicator of breast cancer. You have statistics on your side. I know, it doesn't make it any less scary, but there is a good chance the scans will rule out any problems.

I'm hoping for cysts or something like that.
Hope all is well tomorrow Amy

Thanks Marydean, I keep telling myself that but unfortunately this isnt always the case. My grandmother died at 52 years old and the only way she found out she had breast cancer was because she has a very painful ache in her breast and went to the doctors, 3 days later they did a double mastecotomy and told her to get her affairs in order as she had 6 weeks to live....she died that night.

Im not saying this is going to happen to me, and I truely believe that it will be 3 cycts but I always believe that everyone is different and reacts differently. PLus the fact that I had canerous cells on my cervix at 19 is a bit scary.

Thank you for all your lovely messages and support xxx

Amy, I know better than anyone it's not always the case, and that's why it's good you're getting it checked so quickly. But it's also true that the vast majority of breast changes reported by women (with or without pain) are not malignant, so try to hang onto that until you know more.

PS I meant to say so sorry to hear about your Grandma, 52 is so young. I can imagine why this would play on your mind so much.

*also stalking, and quite concerned that Ahurani is always stalking someone

Hi girls,

Thanks for the stalking hahaha.

All good news at this stage, they did both the mammogram and the ultrasound and said it looks like they are swollen ducts in my breast. They said this can be casued by stress and hormones (at the moment im guessing stress, im not sleeping my stress levels are so high!!!). I have to go to the docs this week for the all clear but at this stage it all looks fine....thank you for all your support during these last few very scary days xxx
