Breast cancer? Please help.
I’m pregnant with my first and am freaking out. Please read.
Okay so...
I’ve always had uneven breasts. My right breast is about a whole cup size bigger than the left. And During pregnancy your boobs grow fast obviously but the right one seems to have grown a lot more than the left.
about 3 weeks ago I started to get horrible pain in it and it was turning purple/red on the bottom half. Which CAN happen but usually happens when you’re breast feeding. Not pregnant. So a week ago at my ultrasound I told my OB about it and she asked to examine. The purpleness/beat red color had gone away but my skin was definitely still pink/red. So she examined and felt it a bit and got quiet. She said “I’m really concerned so I’m going to put in a referral for a breast exam and mammogram at the breast clinic”. So obviously I freaked out. I was calming down about it but the last few days it’s been hurting really bad and is really red.
My appointment isn’t until Friday so im having anxiety waiting until then. The main reason I’m freaking out is because I’ve had 3 women in my family with breast cancer. I’m just really really scared. And OF COURSE my dumb ass reads everything on google and I have symptoms of inflammatory breast cancer such as redness, pain, inflammation. I don’t have any lumps I can feel and I don’t have leakage or weird skin texture.
So now I’m scared and crying and thinking about every worst possibility there could be.
The only thing giving me peace of mind is that this could just be a coincidence of pregnancy. Like I never had breast issues before until I was pregnant.
