Rereferral

Hi , had invasive breast cancer in 2016 , was an incidental find and fast growing . Had to curtail chemo as caused peripheral neuropathy and other problems . Went to see gp Monday as of late same breast seems larger and tight , not painful no lump but large in general and different . After examination Gp done urgent referral as concerned about what he called the mass . Nervous to say the least as had an awful lot of pain in my body and totally exhausted . Could this indeed be cancer or just hardened scar tissue cos of radiotherapy . 

  • Hello and thank you for your post. I am sorry to hear about your breast symptoms and I can understand that it is natural to worry.

    There are various causes for this as you know, but unfortunately we can't diagnose you, or guess what this is. 

    The organisation Breast Cancer Now has information on what to expect when you’ve been referred to a breast clinic and you can read this information by clicking here
