Just when I thought I had calmed down some about my fears...
Someone on my Facebook just announced that she was diagnosed with breast cancer, I think she’s around 45 years old. Older than me but still young. I just turned 29.
I am currently breastfeeding my 5 month old baby, and if you have ever breastfed, you know that all kinds of breast changes occur. They are sometimes lumpy, you get clogs, etc. But do all of those facts ease my mind? Absolutely not. I’m trying my hardest to stay off of the cancer chat forums. But I also can’t get over all the stories I read when I used to read them about women who were around 30 And healthy and got it. I’m freaking out.
This started bc i got a swollen lymph node under my armpit that my doctor said was likely a result a breast infection I had on that same side. This was all virtual though so she didn’t actually feel it. You kind of have to dig to find it so idk if I’m obsessing snd digging to feel it. At this point I can’t tell if it’s still swollen or normal or what. My breasts always feel relatively dense because they’re obviously filled with milk.
I had my obgyn do a breast exam a few months back and he said he didn’t feel anything concerning but he’s also a rude doctor who rushes through things.
im just freaking out.
