    Hi Debbie,

    A very warm welcome to our foru.

    I am sorry to hear about these new symptoms. We are always advised to have any changes in our breasts checked out. I can understand that you're terrified to tell your doctor, but this would be the wisest move. You know yourself that the outcome is always better, the earlier a cancer is caught, so bite the bullet and make that appointment. A mammogram would pick up a lump, but might miss a subtle change in the skin, so you're as well to do this for your own peace of mind.

    Please keep in touch and let us know how you get on. We are always here for you.

    KInd regards,
