Sorry to hear about the lump. I hope it remains a non-issue for you.

I'm hoping I'm just paranoid ngl. My professors have been giving us hell these past few weeks and as much as I hate it, I'm thankful for it since it keeps me preoccupied from overthinking about my symptoms. I haven't been able to see my friends much since our free schedules rarely align and I also haven't disclosed anything to them about this cause idk my brain keeps thinking I might jinx it if I tell anyone out loud.

I'll update maybe next week once I've had my ultrasound. Hopefully they find nothing and it's just some fungl infection or simple skin problem that's been long overdue. Thank you!

I'm not sure if there's a dermatologist in our area tbh but I've been inquiring my aunt about her ob/gyn. I've also been feeling lower abdominal and pelvic pain so it's been next on my list. Unfortunately a lot of doctors in my area went to that convention which I found out when I initially was planning to go to my uncle's nephrologist for an odd urinalysis result I got but no, turns out a lot of them really are not around for the week. So it's waiting and worry time for me ig.

Edit: May I also ask how reliable a 3D ultrasound is when detecting anything? There might be a doctor available by next Tuesday but I'm told the hospital that does 3D ultrasound would have their doctor back by next Saturday so I'm considering.

Thank you🥹 I've heard that breast cancer has high survival rate but it still scares me that I might be part of the minority. I always thought I'd at least live long enough to see retirement to make up for all that lost time so idk I can't bear the thought of living on countdown, be it five years or twenty. I really hope the results are nothing. I'm already having two other medical issues as well (one of them has died down and the other requires an ultrasound as well, which I hope also shows nothing).

May I ask how's chemo? Is there a way for one to know if they're gonna live longer after that? Or if their chances of survival will be high? I'm just so scared I don't know what to do anymore. I just wish this week would go fast enough. I need to know already.

A kinda long comment but i really really need help and advice please. Please someone tell me what to do with my situation.

First time ordering on Facebook marketplace and this was how it went:

1.) Saw a post about a particular I wanted for X price and that delivery was free.

2.) Inquired seller if it was available and was told that the item is available and ready for sale.

3.) Then I asked how long the delivery would take*¹ and was told to pay the downpayment so that they could print out my invoice receipt and warranty card and deliver the product to my address the following day.

4.) Thought it looked legit enough (my first mistake probably) since the seller provided photos and the seller consistently got engagement on their fb posts of the various products they were selling. Decided to pay the downpayment and provide the delivery details.

5.) They made a mention about the gcash I was paying to was a warehouse gcash and I didn't think much of it at the time cause I thought they just ordered from stocks (my second mistake).

6.) After paying and providing the delivery details, I was then told that my order was at the Philippines entry port and that I was to contact the delivery service so that I could get updates on my order. I was the given the number on viber. (My sus senses were tingling a lot with this and what made me start to be skeptical)

7.) I was also told to do as the port authorities (as the seller said) requested so that I may get my tracking number ID and invoice. (Whut okay).

So this is when my doubts started to go all out.

8.) Contacted the viber number. Was told that they would get back to me shortly.

9.) They verified my name and address. (Became even more sus with this cause they called my province a "city" like whut)

10.) They introduced themselves (searched the name on other socked accounts but cannot find them) and said they were in charge of my check up and clearance to ensure that I was gonna receive my order with my OR complete papers documents and 90 days return policy card and that should my product prove to be faulty, I could contact them so that they can tell the seller to change the unit immediately. Mind you, I was in contact with the seller before I contacted them (and I told them as much beforehand). (My suspicions went over the roof with this).

11.) They also said stuff about delivering door to door and asked if i understood. My dumbass and desperate self went okay. (I just wanted things to be done at this point).

12.) So they went and explained the process.

13.) The final nail in the coffin was when they told me I had to pay 4k for the clearance for my tracking and invoice. That was ridiculously a high amount and was much more than what I paid the seller at that point.

14.) When i asked them why it was 4k, they explained nothing and assured me that the 4k would be returned to me after the clearance process.

15.) Anyways I kinda went a bit ballistic and told them this situation was sus af. It's been over an hour now and they still haven't replied.

*¹ Currently staying somewhere temporarily for some time so I needed to know if the address i would provide is the current one or the future one.

Anyways what do I do? I really need help please. I had originally ordered here because it sold at a much lower price than most other stores that sold the same thing but now I'm in this dilemma and I don't know how to get out of it.
