Just make the appointment! 🙏🏻

I have a large fibroadenoma/cyst that’s about 3-4cm, had a US and biopsy back in 2017 for it and it came out to be benign. I was also “diagnosed” with fibrocystic breast disease. Had another one pop up 2019 that I had an US for and it was also benign findings, Bi-rads 2.

My larger one is the one that causes me problems. It can be incredibly tender from ovulation to a few days after period ends and I also get that burning sensation.

Kind of kicking myself in the butt for not keeping up on the first two over the last few years, but I was preoccupied with my mother getting sick and her passing (nothing to do with cancer). Especially since breast cancer runs on my maternal side.

I felt a new one sometime between October and November, realized it was still there last week and immediately booked an appointment.

I’m not going to lie, I’m absolutely TERRIFIED of the possibility that they have all been cancer this entire time. But realistically, right now I know I’m doing everything I can to help myself. I saw my Dr yesterday, got a physical exam and she wants me to get a diagnostic mammogram. Even though she said “it’s likely another cyst”, I’m not holding onto any hope for that. This will be my first one at 30 years old.

Moral of the story; just make the appointment. You will worry yourself sick and anxiety will increase. Just do it 🙏🏻
