Seeing GP about lumps

Tania8979

Hi all, new here, I've been getting very anxious of late about breast lumps, I have very large lumpy boobs, I'm 39, no family history but been on pill for 20 years and have no children. I've always checked my breasts for lumps since my mid 20s but only had a GP check them about 5 years ago, I wasn't worried about anything but breast exams came up and she offered to make sure all was OK and I was doing it property, she found several lumps she wanted me to get checked, thankfully all was fine. It freaked me out because I hadn't noticed anything and I became extra vigilant and decided once a year I'd get my GP to do an exam as well as doing it myself. Although they were never worried numerous trips to the breast clinic were arranged, thankfully all clear. So I only had a scan on my left breast 2 months ago but I noticed a lump I'd not felt before on the same breast, I told myself it would be fine but the niggling worry wouldn't go away, I saw my GP today, wasn't satisfied with how he examined me, only sitting up and only checked the lump I pointed out even though I said I was happy to have a full exam, fortunately he's booked me an appointment with the clinic but he made me feel a bit silly and that I was worrying about nothing, what should I do in these situations though, I'm usually 90% sure these lumps are OK but we're always told to get them checked, he's requested I have a mammogram on both breasts and told me to stop worrying after that. I wouldn't feel comfortable going back now.
