Hello and thank you for your post.

I am sorry to hear about your sore, painful breast.

Your breast symptoms could be caused by an infection. It is possible to get a breast infection even if you are not breast feeding. So please do reconsider taking the antibiotics your GP prescribed.

Pain is not a usual sign of breast cancer, current research has shown this. I think if you take your GP's advise and your breast does not get better then it is possible that you will be referred to a breast clinic. There you are likely to be offered tests and this will include a mammogram.

I hope your breast gets better, if it does not go back to your GP and then ask if you should be referred to the breast clinic. 

I hope you will be okay. Please get back to us if you need any more information or support.  

Take care,

Caroline
