I have had breast pain on and off for a few months now, which I initially thought was hormonal related due to having the coil. I went to gp over a month  ago and was examined, the Gp said my breast tissues felt inflamed and sent me away advising I take evening primrose and ibuprofen for a few weeks. Anyway, I mentioned it again a week later to another Gp in my daughters appointment and she advised me to make another appointment in a weeks time, which I did and she thought my breast felt lumpy and referred me on the 2 weeks pathway.

Unfortuntly, I got covid before the appointment last week and couldn't attend, new appointment has been arranged this Thursday.  Over Christmas I have experienced burning sensation in the breast and nipple, areas of tenderness and this morning I can start to see slit in the centre in my nipple. I'm so so scared ! After reading about inflammed breast cancers and pagets disease, I'm expecting the worse next week. I am a worrier but this feels different and something to be worried about. 

I am 38 with a 4year old and 2 teenagers. No family history of cancer but never experienced ongoing breast discomfort like this ️
