Trying to Push for Earlier Date, Is it Worth it?

So my situation is not probably rare but back in late 2016 I found a lump in my right breast that was diagnosed as a fibrodenoma. I was told to come back in 6 month to check if it grown or any changes in my breast but I didn't because I did check and everything felt the same. No new lumps, just the same one before. For the past 2 week I been having a dull pain in my right shoulder that i put off as sleeping poorly but it been bothering me and decided to google which got me thinking it might be related to breast cancer. I made an appt to follow up this Thursday but I been crying and having panic attack and I want it to be sooner than later cause I already waited so long. Is there anyway to ask if I can have earliest appt or would one day not make a difference?

I’m so sorry you are going through this. I know the worry and stress of waiting, it’s horrible. I think one day will be ok to wait, but it feels like a week to us when we are waiting!

Try not to worry, easier said than done though. Keeping busy has helped me take my mind off things, and also helped the time pass.

Sending hugs and prayers your way! Keep us posted

Hi. I'm in a similar situation regarding shoulder pain but I actually have DCIS.. Wondering what you've learned. .

So I had a major panic attack this morning and decided to go to the ER because i started having chest pain on the right. They did a CT scan right away and found that it still hadn't changed since I last went and the pain was unrelated to the breast. Thank you all for your encouraging words but the wait was getting too much. I am going to probably schedule an appt to get it removed because I do not want this happening again i just want the lump gone,
