Hi everyone,

since around Christmas I've been having pain at the side of my right breast. It feels like a burning, stinging pain and sometimes a dull ache. It has recently spread to my right rib area and also my shoulder blade. I have this overwhelming fear of it being breast cancer and yet (and this sounds so stupid) I can't bring myself to make an appointment with the gp! I know I have to make that appointment but I'm so scared of what they are going to say! My breasts already feel very lumpy anyway and both feel the same so I haven't felt anything out of the ordinary apart from this pain only being on one side! 

I suffer from quite severe anxiety about this! And I think it's mostly the fear of not being here for my 3 kids that scares me the most. 

Sorry for this pointless post but I needed to get this out somewhere! 

Thanks!
