Brest

Good evening, last December I stopped breastfeeding. after 6 months I discovered a large lump in my right chest. I had a biopsy on the benign tumor node. now after 9 months I have very swollen breasts and a thick yellow milk flows .. (the family doctor sent me a report to the specialist) for 3 weeks I am waiting for someone to contact me for investigation I feel really bad breasts what can I do? to call an emergency? Thanks

  • Hello Miky and thanks for posting, 

    I am sorry to learn that you have unexplained ongoing symtpoms. I think the best way to get these sorted out is to talk to your family doctor/GP again. When you say they sent a report to the specialist I am assuming this was a referral to the local breast clinic (you may have been there before when you had the biopsy). It sounds like you may need to chase this up, but it is probably best to check that this referral has been sent off, and where to, then you can contact the clinic yourself to find out what is going on.

    Breast problems can occur for other reasons aside from cancer so try and keep an open mind. Until you have some answers, this sort of situtaion can be unsettling. It might help to get some guidance from the GP and ask them how urgently you need to be seen and why.

    I do hope they can help.

    Best wishes,

    Julia .
