So my breast is still bothering me and now the pain is going up under my armpit so I am starting to get a little concerned. I HATE going to the doctor because I always just think that it's nothing and that it will go away. But the pain is getting worse and it may just be my imagination, but is still feeling lumpier than usual. So I decided to bite the bullet and call the doctor to make the appointment. But it took me all day to come to this conclusion. It was 4:05 and I made the call to the doctor and has my good friend Karma would have it, the damn place closed at 4:00 (it used to close 4:30 so I thought I was safe). Who the hell closes at 4:00 in the afternoon!?! Stupid, rich OBGYNs. The least they could do is keep the stupid scheduling department open to help poor pathetic people like me who wait until the last minute to call. So now I have to wait until tomorrow morning to call. And I have to get up the courage again . At least this time, I won't wait until friggin' 4:05.
Does anyone know if these are normal symptoms of breast cancer or am I getting worked up for nothing? It's in the back of my mind that maybe it's that - but if it is, I'm gonna kick cancer in the ass - but at the same time, what if I'm freaked out for nothing and it's something dumb like a clogged duct; even though I haven't breastfed in 3 years. I just hope I don't have to wait 2 weeks to get in for an appointment with the doctor cuz the pain is just getting worse. And a part of me is a little scared. but please don't tell my husband that though.

That is just not something you mess with. Call the doctor. Right. Now.
i feel you on the procrastinating i am exactly the same way. but i do think that it's very important that you be assertive with the docs. i once was having severe lower back/abdominal pain and had to go the er. they diagnosed it as a bladder infestation and wanted to send me home. i knew it was not a bladder infection and asked them to check further. turned out that i had a dermoid/teratoma that required emergency surgery to remove it and the ovary it had surrounded. it was 6 inches long and 6 wide.
sending good thoughts your way! =)
You definitely need to go to the docs, if only because it hurts! I don't like doctors either, but its never as bad talking to them as I think, you'll be fine :)
good luck x
C-14K: Yowsers! Thanks for scaring the snot out of me. And for giving me the kick in the pants I needed.
SP: you sound like the woman who raised me (not my mom exactly, but close enough). And don't worry, that is a compliment.
C102: You were right; it wasn't as bad talking to the doc as I thought.
And thanks all for the support. This whole thing is a little scary and unnerving.
