Should I keep my Drs appointment?

Hello I was just wondering if any of the symptoms I've been getting has happened to anyone else. As mine are quite intermittent, it started last September when I found a red patch on my breast and then it went, two weeks later it happened again but in a different place on my breast and this has happened 4/5 times since September. Then in October I started getting intermittent pain in my arm pit but had no lumps whatsoever and then the itching started! It started off with both breasts and armpits and now it's only on my left and even that is intermittent. The intermittent pain has moved to over the top of my shoulder now. ( As well as my armpit) my left breast is sore in the left side when I press it and is really painful running up to my period. I have no bruises or inverted nipples. 

I have a Drs appointment booked in about 3 weeks but should I keep it? 

Any cause for concern do you think?

Thanks!

    I'm sorry to hear that you're dealing with some ongoing concerns about your breast health. 

    You're obviously feeling worried about these symptoms so do keep your GP appointment. It's always best to get these things checked and I'm sure they will be able to give you some reassurance to put your mind at ease. 

    Best wishes,
