Hello. For the past month I’ve noticed my right breast is larger than normal ( it’s always been the bigger and more dense one) it would hurt when I woke up in the AM. Upon monthly check I found an area where I could feel a pea size lump. Originally I thought this was all hormonal related as I am 6 m post of from a partial hysterectomy ( kept ovaries but I can feel something’s off) both boobs feel hormonal but agin the right is bigger and more heavy. However no rash redness oozing normal nipple no other symptoms
my OB is sending me for a mammogram with ultrasound and I’m pretty nervous. The Internet is a terrible place sometimes because upon googling for what I first thought was a hormonal imbalance led me to IBC and my anxiety is getting the best of me. Any input, setting me straight prayers anything would be appreciated
Hi Anicola3
Welcome to the forum, I'm Daisy53 one of the Community Champions on this forum. I'm sorry to hear that you may be facing a cancer diagnosis. Unfortunately Dr Goggle is not your friend when it comes to researching Breast Cancer as the information is often out of date and always paints the worst case scenario.
Most lumps turn out to be benign but if it does turn out to be breast cancer know that it's very treatable these days and they are always coming up with new treatments for the disease.
I've had Breast Cancer twice, once in my left breast and once in my right breast and after having treatment I come out of the other side of it and I am currently Cancer free.
