Lump in Breast
17/Female
I went to the OB/GYN for my annual check-up today, and they did the usual pap smear and breast exams.
My doctor told me she felt a lump in my breast, and my heart fell straight out of my butt. I had never been so scared in my life, and a hundred things went through my brain at once. (I thought that only happened on TV). I am only seventeen, so hearing her say that really scared me more than I have ever been scared in my life. I literally was only one breath away from crying.
She quickly tried making me feel better by telling me to feel it and then explaining that it may just be some kind of cystic fibrosis cyst or something of that sort, and told me it could just be from drinking too much caffeine. (I've tried cutting down on my soda intake)
I didn't miss that she said "may be" though. And I haven't been able to stop thinking about it. She told me to watch the lump and continue doing self breast exams, but I couldn't even feel the lump she tried showing me! I have no idea how to check myself and I can't stop thinking that it may not be a cyst.
What do I do?

Relax,
Doctors are not always right, However if you are still concerned maybe you should make an appointment with another doctor.
