Not diagnosed but terrified. Severe health anxiety

Astern

I’ve been experiencing Bilateral breast changes for a couple of months. I’ve been referred to a breast clinic but they aren’t able to take me until September 11th. Since the loss of my mother in 2018 breast cancer metastes to liver I’ve had horrible health anxiety. My left supraclavicular fossa is swollen with two palpable nodes. I had a neck ct scan and the radiologist didn’t note any issues in the supraclavicular area. Just a swollen tonsil which I’m taking antibiotics for. I’ve read so much on how all left supraclavicular nodes are abnormal I can’t help but think the radiologist May have missed that area. I can’t eat or sleep I’m so afraid.

You probably need to get a referral to someone who can help you with your health anxiety. Your use of terms like "supraclavicular fossa" means you are spending WAAAY too much time with Dr. Google. I'm sorry about your mother, but turning grief into health anxiety is not a good thing.

Astern, it's helpful for those who want to offer support to understand more about your concerns. You've posted previously and a number of us responded trying to reassure you. It would be much better if you stuck to one thread so that everyone gets the benefit of seeing the earlier information and responses.

You mentioned previously and mention here that your breast changes are bilateral. Similar changes in both breasts are highly unlikely to be breast cancer.

Here is a link to your previous thread:
