Hi, I posted before about being called to get a mammogram for a large lump on my left breast.
The radiologist told me afterwards that I will be called in the next weeks to go to the clinic (10 days now and no news).
This was my first time getting a mammogram, it was uncomfortable but the radiologist was nice and very patient with me being ok.
Later that night I was sore on my left pec. I was touching my armpit and felt it swollen, and maybe a lymp node there. I didn't feel this before. This pain and swelling is still there. I practice yoga and feel it the most when I'm extending my arm upwards and back. I was also bruised after the test (still some on my aureola).
Before I wasn't much worried but now I'm overthinking. I couldn't sleep last night, I keep remembering that the radiologist told me after the test: "the first step is done". Thinking I have a horrible diagnosis waiting for me.
I'm 35 and I've just finished my job contract and I'm about to start a new job in August, moving from Scotland to England, I don't know how to manage this situation. My family lives in another country and I'm not telling anyone yet because I don't want to worry anybody.
