Hi everyone. I posted this on r/breastcancer but took it down when I realised it wasn’t the appropriate sub and they sent me here.

I just wanted to reach out as I am a 32 year old woman who recently had a chest scan that found a 1.3cm solid lesion on my right breast. I haven’t been diagnosed but they are going to biopsy the lesion to confirm that it isn’t malignant. I can’t feel the lump but I do have large breasts and occasional pain on the right.

It’s early days and I honestly don’t think I’d be dealing with something this sinister at my age but I’ve heard it’s possible and of course, when you’re told there’s a lesion, your brain goes straight to worst case. I also recently had my sister in law and step-mum recover from breast cancer - both were diagnosed young (39 and 50).

After receiving the request for biopsy and mammogram, I’m quite scared this may become a reality. I’ve learned from the other sub Reddit that cancer doesn’t discriminate against age and it that it is becoming more common among young women. It’s frightening.

Anyway, I just wanted to share how I am feeling. Thank you for reading and sending my best to you if you’re currently dealing with something similar or dealing with breast cancer. 🩷

Hi everyone. I just wanted to reach out on this sub as I am a 32 year old woman who recently had a chest scan that found a 1.3cm solid lesion on my right breast. I haven’t been diagnosed but they are going to biopsy the lesion to confirm that it isn’t malignant. I can’t even feel the lump but I do have large breasts.

It’s still early days and I honestly don’t think I’d be dealing with something this sinister at my age but I’ve heard it’s possible and of course, when you’re told there’s a lesion, your brain goes straight there. I also recently had my sister in law and my step-mum recover from breast cancer - both were diagnosed young.

I don’t want to take away from women who are dealing with a genuine diagnosis but it’s a real possibility this might be on my radar and I’m quite scared. Have any other women on this sub dealt with a diagnosis at this age? Thank you for reading and sending my best to you if you’re currently dealing with breast cancer. 🩷

Edit: silly me forgot the question mark at the end of the title. Sorry about that.

I’ve been having a really rough week. Lots of panic attacks especially behind the wheel (yay! 🙄). Surprisingly this song really helps me. Would love to get the album on vinyl.

Yet still want to give them space. Accepting that they are important to you and that you care deeply when you think of them. It’s completely normal to sit with those feelings but not ruminate on them. After all, it’s just you, right?

Hi everyone, I recently finished a long term contract where I was doing work that really wasn’t aligned with what I offer as a freelancer. I’ve only just started offering my services again and have been getting steady work.

Right now my portfolio is quite weak and I’m looking to build it out but I don’t really know where to start, as the projects I’m currently working on are slow progressing. I’d like to start putting my work out there and winning more clients.

For background, I create short form videos, edit videos and also redesign websites on the side. Thank you!

Hi everyone, I’m just wondering if anyone has a make up brand they use that is gentle on eczema? I know that when eczema is on the face and near the eyes, it’s ideal not to wear any but there are days when I absolutely need to do myself up a bit. Appreciate any help.

This is the first time it has happened to me and it wasn’t a full fledged panic attack. I just started feeling really short of breath and tight in the chest. I also felt this sense of dread like I was going to crash the car or just randomly swerve off the road.

I’ve been really good lately. I know my nervous system is still slightly under strain but I haven’t had any run ins with my anxiety and it was really bad a few months ago. I’m scared it’s coming back and that it will affect my driving. I had no reason to be panicked but it just came out of nowhere. 😟

I’ve been in this slump for a really long time. I’ve been living remotely for a few years now and I feel like ever since I moved away from the city, I lost a part of myself. A part of me who was independent, driven and ambitious. Now I just feel stuck in every sense of the word.

I feel stuck in the way of meeting now people and seeking new opportunities because they are limited in my area and I have to turn down a lot of them because of where they are. I’ve also been going back and forth on where I’d like to develop my professional skills. One minute it’s one thing, next minute it’s something else.

I also don’t get much interaction with people unless I’m working or running an event. I barely leave the house on wfh days and I have lost all belief in my ability to create or put myself out there. It’s such an awful way to feel.

I will be moving back down to the city at the end of the year but until then I just don’t know what I can do to improve my situation. It’s turning very much into a “if I can stay in bed longer in the mornings, I will”.
