I don't feel ill, just worried.
I took photos just incase it changes dramatically, but I've been reading about cysts and how they grow in bunches right behind the nipple, just like this has reached my nipple now, I can't decide if it's changed in the last couple of weeks.

My age (55) will have steered the GP away from thinking cysts because google says they are rare after menopause, but most common during menopause. The initial delay was to see if the lumpiness went away when I had a bleed, which is a month overdue now, am I waiting for my oestrogen to crash back down now?

I'd say that not bleeding when due might mean my hormones are shifting again, possibly brought on by the stress of my Dad's terminal diagnosis.

I've been thinking stress seems to make cancer more likely, but hormones are affected by stress for certain, that is a much more logical thought to follow.

Worry ain't logical is it 

Plus the worry about your Dad!

One more day to go, this is going slowly now.

Tomorrow I get told whether this lump and heaviness is cancer or benign.

If I lean forwards the right boob doesn't fall down, it's held up by the tougher tissue inside.

It could be cysts, a little bunch of them, I was always getting mastitis in that boob when breastfeeding.

It feels so very heavy compared to the soft little left boob that is behaving itself.
