Seriously -- put your mind around this, Deneb: Your doctor, whom you've stated you trust, told you that this lump is NOTHING.
That you are still worrying, and 'planning the end of your life' and all that, well, it's something you're choosing to put your energy into. And you can choose to stop putting energy into it, too.
Instead of continuing to obsess about a lump in your breast that will likely resolve on its own by the end of your next cycle, why don't you shift some of that energy into asking WHY you feel the need to torture yourself this way? WHY do you need this sort of drama in your life? What's going on that you're not dealing with, in order to put all this worry into something you've already had examined and been told was NOTHING?
I'm sorry that you're feeling bad, Deneb, and I know you are. But how about putting some energy into working towards feeling better long term, rather than devoting so much energy to needless worry?
