I am 43 and suffer from depression and extreme anxiety. It gets so bad that I overlook health issues out of fear. I have noticed littls lumps in my right breast for some time definetly over a year...now I find I have other symptoms of breast cancer. Like lumps under the armpit and one breast feels heavier..
I had a cbc done 3 weeks ago that showed I had type 2 diabetes and high cholesteral..but nothing else was wrong.
But I know this doesn't mean I'm cancer free..
I am terrified to find out cause I seen on the web if it is under your armpit it means it has spread...I have 3 kids who I raise alone and I can't stop crying..
I feel like I'm going to die from this...
I hear so many stories of woMen dying and I'm afraid to the point I am sick to my stomach..
Also I have lost weight recently but doc said it was from having diabetes untreated..
I have a pretty lonely life so I have turnd to this site for some feedback...
So afraid..I can't even explain how it is affecting me...
I wake up all hours of the night sweating and crying..
Please help
Thanks sooo much

No call back? WHOO HOOO!!! Congrates LEELEE!!!

Remember to get an annual mammo from here on out. Now you have a basline.

AFA a US...Well Im suspect, esp since you are 43, your breast tissue isnt all that dense....

Enjoy your spring and summer and Best of the best getting and keeping your diabetes and depresseion under control. That should be you main health focus right now.... Cool

God Bless~!!! 

Nov. '10 Mammo,U/S, MRI showed suspicious 9mm x15mm mass . Jan '11 Biopsy Dx-ed a PASH tumor (rare, but benign tumor)....All I ask is for peace and serenity to the depths of my soul. Makes the rest of life more live-able.

CONGRATS!!!!!!!!  Get copies of your labs/memos for your own records.Cool

Work on your diabetes...I strongly suspect those 'lumps' will become smaller as your bloodsugar becomes more normal - also strongly suspect they are cysts.  For me, even my fibroadenoma shrank when my diabetes came under control. 

HAVE A WONDERFUL SUMMER!!
