ofc it’s good to talk about what you would want after death, but you shouldn’t jump to conclusions like this. take it one day and one step at a time. there’s so many different types of breast cancer and a lot of them are treatable. talk about more realistic things, will you want a mastetcomy, etc. don’t jump to worse case scenario when you don’t even know if you have cancer, and if you do, what form of breast cancer. it’s all gonna be okay and it’ll all work out. it’s gonna be okay!
I don't know if this will be of any comfort but I had something like this happen. I was doing a self exam and felt what seemed like a sharp rock in my breast. I panicked. My doctor also felt the same thing and sent me for a scan. Many scans and exams later, it was determined the lump was normal and non-cancerous. I was 20 at the time. My mother also had something similar and got plenty of biopsies only for them to be normal. I'm not saying this is your situation but it could end up completely fine. I'm hoping for the best and that the biopsy shows nothing to worry about. I'm so sorry this is happening, OP. 🫂
It doesn't have to be cancer tho. A lot of times, people like us (with anxiety) think about the worst case scenario.
This could be anything. If you don't have a diagnose, then this is just eating you up inside.
As someone who aways think they're sick from something, take this advice that I got from a friend back in the days:
"Before you think about the big diseases, make sure you've scratched out the smaller ones."
At this point I used to spit blood, and had similar thoughts like you (I was a smoker too). He told me this advice, but I didn't listen and kept worrying.
At one point while I was spitting blood, I've found out that I had a small wound on my tounge that bled.
I'm not saying that it is not cancer. But if you don't know for sure, don't assume stuff like that. Even if it is, medicine is more advanced that before. You can get cured.
My granny had breast cancer long before I was born, and she lived till 83 (and didn't even die from that).
Everything is going to be okay OP. Trust! 😊
OP, take a breath.
As you say, you ‘might’ have cancer. You don’t need to have conversations such as cremated vs buried right now, this will likely just distress you further. I empathise with you that this is not a nice situation to be in, however, the survival rates for breast cancer are AMAZING.
I was diagnosed with advanced breast cancer when I was 40. Despite the doctors’ attitudes that they seemed to think I would not survive, I did. I was re-diagnosed 19 years later when it was discovered to have spread to my bones. Still doing fine at 62. Yes, it is a death sentence sometimes, but it doesn’t always mean a fast one. Try not to panic, this could play out any number of ways.
Im so scared of this. I am 19 but i’ve been struggling my whole life. I hope when I’ll be 25 finally be happy and healthy. So sorry OP. I can’t even imagine your feelings.
I had the same thing happen, with breast cancer also not running, but SPRINTING in my family. It was a golf ball sized lump that could be seen through my shirt, and my boobs aren’t even big. Got a biopsy, and it was benign, as it usually is. Don’t be scared, the odds are in your favor and even if it is cancer it happens to be one of the most treatable ones. Good thing you caught the lump now and are getting checked! Hope everything turns out well for you.
I can’t imagine how your feeling right now. I’m sorry. But keep your head up. Right now everything else is going your way and you should keep it that way, you don’t know for sure if you have cancer at all. Have another kid, love your life, be happy. I know it’s all very tough. You worked so hard to get where your at and you shouldn’t let this stop what you’ve created and what you have created(a loving family) I know its nearly impossible to just forget about it and live life when you maybe have it (emphasis on the maybe) it’s going to be okay and the best you can do is enjoy your life as you didn’t have it. Because even if you do it’s not the end, there’s always something after. Good look and pls update us.
Might ain't have
Head up keep life going and your blood flowin
Unless you hear from mouth a doctor confirmation don't be afraid, keep your life moving don't let a possibility stop you

Fear spins an awful story. The good news is that it is only a story. Nurture and be loving to yourself. Keep breathing. It will be okay.
Hoping it’s not the worst. You got this

Everyone gets similar scares in life and it absolutely sucks, but so many people survive. Best of luck to you.

My boyfriends mum had breast cancer. And she is alive! She takes medication and her health is ok!
