GPS notes say suspected breast cancer

I went to my gp today witj a purple red spot with no head on my breast it's got a red rash round it and  a lump underneath,she took photos and sent me for an urgent 2 week referral.i read my medical records via the nhs app and says its suspected breadt cancer,I am so scared I can't eat sleep or think about anything else I have convinced myself I have inflammatory bests cancer 

  • The 2 week wait referral always relates to suspected cancer, thats why its 2 weeks, if it was none cancer related you would be waiting months for an appointment. But it does not mean you have cancer, 8 out of 10 people reffered do not have cancer so try not to worry. Although I'm in the same boat and know its easier said than done

    the GP is not the master in breasts the breast clinic is the best , here they will assess and tell you my gp said I had mastitus I never had a lump but I had breast cancer I don’t trust GP answers around breasts to be honest .

    if you can’t wait book a private breast clinic that’s what I done and had my operations done private cause I needed speed xx

  • I suppose we all have thought that it is mine was just a normal looking spot on side of breast had ir for about 3 months no bother but last few days it's gone a reddy purple colour with a red rash round it and a lump beneath the actual spot,Dr said it seems inflamed and prescribed antibiotics but still referred me on the referral it says suspected breast cancer then access? Then cyst with a question mark
