So I have health anxiety... more so with my kids but that’s a whole other issue.
I had a sore breast a few weeks ago, sort of on and off for a few weeks, I thought it was turning into mastitis as it felt similar but about a week after it started I found a lump. Obviously instantly I started to think I’m dying and that’s it but the rational side of me knew it was likely nothing, maybe mastitis presenting differently. I thought it would just pass but fast forward to now and I still have the lump and occasional soreness.
I finally got the courage to go to the doctor this morning, thinking it would be brushed off as I overthink everything but she was actually concerned when she felt it and is referring me to the breast clinic so now I can’t stop thinking that for once maybe my anxieties are right and there is a chance it’s something more serious.
Has anyone been referred? How long did it take? GP said it should be fairly quick but google says it could take a while.
