Breast Cancer Symptoms or Depression Symptoms

Hello,

Firstly, I am so grateful I've found a place to voice my concerns. So thank you all. I'm 28yr old, mother to a 20mo, and have been struggling a lot since my son was born. A little back story, after my boy was born I noticed post partum setting in around 4-5 months then my husband had a really bad accident at work that meant I was his caretaker for a few months while he healed up. Obviously, this all created a very stressful environment. So when I realized I'd lost all the baby weight and an extra 25lb I thought well I'm depressed and stressed so that's why I've really had zero appetite since he was born. Plus, doctors kept saying that to me and brushing off physical concerns for purely mental/emotional. However, this whole time I had noticed a hard swollen area in my right axillary. In the last 6 months especially the area has been sore and tender with occasional sharp shooting pains from the axillary to the nipple. I went to my OB when I started feeling the pain more obviously and she said probably cystic try easing off the coffee, you aren't at risk so I'm not going to order a mammogram just yet. So I said whatever it's nothing, im depressed that why I'm feeling crappy. Ive been very tired and just can't seem to get enough sleep, and the nausea! Since my boy was born I've lost over 60lb because I'm so often nauseous. I also have what I image hot flashes feel like followed by chills, occasional night sweats, and general I'll feeling.. so my husband and I just moved to be near my family for support and I decided I'd get a second opinion. Yesterday, I went to the student clinic at my University and the NP did noticed the hard swell/mass so she decided on an Ultrasound. The area isn't in where you think of breast lumps being but in the axillary tail of the breast tissue while I've learned is breast tissue that extends deep into the armpit. So I think this maybe why my first OB was less concerned idk.. I'm not sure but with the way I am feeling I am really scared. And I'm struggling with whether or not the way I am feeling is in my head or a manifestation of it.. it's a confusing and concerning place to be. My Ultrasound is on the Friday the 13.. isn't that ironic. Thanks for reading...
