Hi
im a breastfeeding mum, I've had a nasty bout of mastitis over the last 6 weeks. It finally feels like it's clearing but my doctor found a lump last week. I've been checked multiple times over the last few weeks and this is the first time it's been mentioned. I've been referred to the breast clinic next week but I can't help but think the worst. The GP told me it could be anything, including cancer and she wouldn't want to even hazard a guess
I'm in an absolute tailspin about it. I've been ill for weeks and exhausted, my lymph nodes have been up, my armpit visibly swollen. But I've also had a continuous fever, and it really felt like I was on the mend. The trouble is I can't feel this lump, now every time I feel my breasts all I feel is lumps and bumps. I feel like I'm losing my mind I thought I knew myself pretty well, but obviously not.
