Hi..I think it's always best to speak/see your Dr, then that will give you some reassurance/answers. They will hopefully be able to see you more quickly and definitely get it checked out. I found a lump at start of June and went straight to the Drs and glad that I did. They saw me the same day and I was referred to breast clinic to get everything checked. 

Hi Elle,

I am just another cancer pilgrim and not a doctor, so I cannot tell you whether or not your symptoms are anything to worry about.

My mum died from secondary breast cancer and I have many relatives and friends who have also had cancer. I was diagnosed 11 years ago and had a second primary in the same breast the following year.

With your family history and your recent symptoms, I would strongly advise you to get this checked out.

It should be easier to get an appointment with your GP now, when routine appointments are not being carried out due to Covid 19. If you tell your GP's receprionist why you need an urgent appointment, you should be seen quite quickly. Doctors are doing mostly telephone consultations, but they will give you a face-to-face appointment if they deem it necessary. So what if you're told that you're just imagining things - much better to be safe than sorry.

Do please let us know how you get on. We are always here for you.

I've got my fingers crossed that all goes well for you.

Kind regards,

Jolamine xx
