Last week I was seen at the doctors for a small raised red lump just above my nipples. That I have had since September On examination I had two doctors feel my breasts and discovered my left armpit was swollen too. And found a different lump that I was unaware of At the side of my boob they did a thorough exam feeling and comparing both boobs. I was told I needed to be referred within two weeks to the breast care unit at the hospital. I was given antibiotics as a precaution incase of infection. I have had leaking boobs (last baby was 5 years ago) ... fast forward to today one week later I was given an emergency appointment to have a breast ultrasound. Upon getting there the breast care nurse asked me to lay down so he could feel the effected breast. He felt it for a few seconds and told me I could sit up. I told him my concerns about the nurses sending me to him today for him to perform his ultrasound and they had found the two lumps. That I have had terrible itchiness and pain. Also breasts that leek and that I had pictures he didn't want to see the pictures or compare the feel of both breasts. I asked if I would be getting the results of my ultrasound today and his words were it's a waste of resources and refused to scan me even though that's what I was sent there for. I think because of my age he just overlooked everything I am 26 and have a strong history of breast cancer in my family. He told me it was probably just an abscess and to leave it alone does this sound right or should I demand to be seen somewhere else?
