  • Hello and thank you for posting.

    I am afraid I do not know what the reason is for your breast to feel swollen and uncomfortable, but I would suggest you speak to your GP. Your doctor is the only person who can review the breast and decide if further investigation is needed.

    I understand that you may be concerned about recurrence, but it is only a doctor who can help you with this.

    Do take care and if you want to talk anything through with the nurses the number to call is 0808 800 4040, lines open mon-fri 9-5.

    Sarah.
