Hi Sunday’s child
As a 27 year old who was diagnosed a month ago, my advice is to listen to the doctors and nurses there. If they are recommending an investigation it’s probably needed.
None of us enjoy the mammogram experience and I’m sorry to hear you’re struggling a lot with it. But tell them how much it hurt last time if they insist on another one. If it is suspicious they will do a biopsy as nothing can proceed without knowing what the lump is. Biopsy uncomfortable but done with local.
Try to remember they are doing this with your best interests.
I agree with what everyone else has said, try to stop examining it. Unfortunately there are lumps and hardenings that feel normal but turn out to not be, same said for vice versa, the only way to truly know what it is involves imaging and a biopsy.
The wait between everything is awful. I truly hope you don’t have cancer, but if you join us bunch who do, there are amazing resources to help, both on here and elsewhere.
I literally just went through similar to what you’re experiencing and there truly is nothing anyone can say that will help, our minds always assume the absolute worst. But there’s nothing you can do to change the outcome at this point... if it is bad please know that most of us find out very quickly and things start happening quickly to help you.
I hope it turns out okay. Hugs.
