one heavy breast for over 3 months...

Happy2020

hello ladies

i just wanted to ask a few questions, because i am really losing it. For 3 months now my right breast is not the same as usual. I have fibrocystic breasts, but the right one was always small, not much going on. just a small, soft breast. but the last 3 months it is so bloated, dense, hardish. At first i thought maybe it is some weight gain, but due to working out more i actually lost a pound. 24th of november, after my cycle i can go for a chekup and hopefully they will do a mammogram and ultrasound. I am so scared it is the lobular type. Because my left is not dense, not bloated and just my saggy breast as they both were. I am not sure how to get through these weeks. my breast is just not right . i have an 8 year old girl and i am almost crying every day due to my anxiety. What if they can't see it properly etcetc.

Any advice or recognition?

hello

thank you for posting! I am 2 weeks away from a consult. i am so afraid that it is lobular cancer. i don't feel a lump but my tissue is much more dense than it was. usually that breast was just a soft and skinny breast but now it seems almost like i am breastfeeding.

Anyone any experience with this regarding to lobular cancer?

Happy2020, how have you arrived at your diagnosis of lobular cancer, instead of your known fibrocystic stuff? You need to quit that line of thinking. People who read a lot here seem to do a lot of self-diagnosing of lobular breast cancer when rarely is that the case-they are usually wrong

hi MelissaDallas

i understand why you would think it is completely werid. but my normal fibrocystic breast does not act like this. so for me this is not normal. that is my i am wondering if lobular can do this kind of stuff with your breast. maybe that helps with the fear.

I know it is difficult not to, but try not to go down the dark path. I have found it takes just as much energy to be positive as it does negative. Make the choice to be positive for your self and your daughter. Keep us posted!
