Hello,

thank you for taking the time here.
I'm really struggling because I get triggered by something, some information about a disease and I work myself in to such terror and I can't cope.
I've had a burning pain in my left/side breast on and off. I've been to the doc twice about it over the past 3 years, with normal exams and 1 ultrasound.
I have it again and sometimes I think my one breast feels warm but then later it won't. I read that warmth in the breast is a sign of inflammitory breast cancer . I'm driving my boyfriend crazy saying "feel it now" ..."how bout now" . I imagine if I had this type of terrible cancer , it would be a more obvious heat and redness. I have no redness.
It may be that i'm constantly feeling for warmth and lumps and actually causing slight injury with all the investigating.
Still, i'm scaring myself.
I also read that paxil (which i've been on for years) is now known to increase ones risk of breast cancer by 50%, so i'm stopping paxil and so I need to find a new way to cope with my underlying anxiety and contstant worry about illness.

I appreciate any comments, as I can't talk to my boyfriend anymore than I am now (or he'll go nuts) and I have no family to talk with.
Thank you !!!
