Hello Need-info and thanks for posting, 

Breast cancer is much more common from the age of 50 onwards than it is at your age so not a very likely explanation for this lump. Tenderness, warmth and redness suggests some sort of infection, but I am sure you know the best thing to do is to get it properly assessed by your doctor both to be on the safe side and in case any treatment is needed.

Best wishes, 

Julia

Hi and thanks for posting

Just to say that I hope things turn out well for you and if there is anything you would like to talk through after your surgery, do give us a ring - the number to call is Freephone 0808 800 4040 and the lines are open from 9am till 5pm Monday to Friday.

If you don't hear back about your results, do give the clinic a call to make sure that you get the feedback after your surgery. The GP always also gets sent results after scans, tests and appointments that have been done at the hospital, so you can also give them a call if you don't hear back.

All the best

Wanda

Hi Wanda

The thing is, I had all tests and needle biopsies in Dec 2020 they never informed my gp of outcome, they said they mislaid my paperwork  xx I am 57 and really worried its cancer

Xxxxxxx

Hello and thank you for getting back to us.

I am sorry to hear that this has happened. Do get back in touch with the breast clinic, where you had these tests done to see what has happened.  Also ask them or your GP if you should be referred back to the Breast Clinic.

If after doing this you still feel you need to find out what happened then contact the Patient Advice Liaison Service (PALS) in the hospital where you were seen. They can see what has happened too.

I hope you find out more about your situation soon and that you will be okay.

Take care,

Caroline
