You don’t remember feeling it before. You can’t imagine something that size or that solid could have formed overnight, but it’s definitely there, and now you can’t stop thinking about it. You might even poke or squeeze at it.
‘Does it hurt when I do this? Just how big is it?’
You think about it in the shower, at work, at the gym, and before you go to sleep. Just in case it turns out to be nothing more than your imagination or a stupid spider bite, you have your significant other feel you up.
“Yup, that’s a lump,” they say. “What next?”
What next, indeed.
Irrational fears and nervous thoughts, spearheaded by a gut-wrenching worry you’ve finally developed The Big C, may enter your head and try to halt your actions. But whether you have or haven’t, nothing can be told or solved by you poking ineffectually at your boob.
As soon as possible, make an appointment to go see your doctor or a general practitioner.
