Insert Head Into A***

I've just spent the morning at the breast clinic and my head is up my nether regions. To make a short story long, I was examined by my GP for swelling and pain in the tissue of my left breast. he ordered blood tests and one of the things he asked for tests for is a condition called Gynaecostia. the results for that came back negative, and he then referred me to the breast clinic. After a (too long) wait my appointment was this morning. The doctor I saw more or less told me at the start of the consultation that I had this condition, after an ultrasound scan I was back in to see him and he confirmed his original diagnosis. I was at a bit of a loss when he carried on rather dismissively to tell me me he wouldn't do anything about it and leave it without treatment. Now this is all very well, and obvious I was really hoping to hear something other than the dreaded C word. BUT, we have to be 100% certain as we all know. How can the blood tests be negative for this same condition and his diagnosis be opposed to them? I asked him this and, quite frankly I wasn't impressed by his answers, which were somewhat at odds with what I had been told and also with the researching I have done myself. What about the constant ache in my chest I asked him. He said that the prescribing of something to help that was down to my GP and that the main drug to treat it is Tamoxifan. He reckoned that the side effects of a man taking Tamoxifan were a lot worse than for a woman taking the same drug. So on my walk back to the car park I had already made an appointment to see my GP for tomorrow morning. I don't really feel reassured by this morning's consultation. As much as I want to hear that it's not serious I have to be certain. I will be mulling over asking for a second opinion between and tomorrow morning. More hospital this afternoon, this time as a visitor. I'm off to see a friend of mine who had a stroke last week. It's so easy to say to people I'll go and visit, but very demoralising for them if it's only words you don't mean.
