Breast burning/tingling

Hi. I did want to upload a picture so you could see. 
But in my left breast i am feeling a burning/tingling feeling, it also feels like areola (i think thats what its called) has gone lighter and is really sensitive to the other (keeps going hard) and seems to be a little flatter than the other one, also the burning feeling feels like its in my armpit now also! 

i have a referal made but this 2 week wait is scaring the life out of me, my anxiety is at its max to the point i cant eat  :(

ive had loads of bloods done and all come back ok, but i no bloods doesnt pick up cancer. I had an inflammatory blood test which came back as normal.

i am so so scared.

  • Good idea having private scan ,put your mind at rest . Let us know how it goes xx

  • Hi N92,

    I am glad to hear that you have managed to book a private scan tomorrow - I shall be thinking of you and I hope that it all goes well.

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

    Kind regards,

    Jolamine xx

  • I didnt book it as ive had my appoitment come through but not till the 26th November its still a long wait 20 days it would of taken from the referal. The private scan was a lot of money which i was going to do for the consultant and the ultrasound but then if a biopsy is needed it was £750 just for 1 single biopsy :( 

  • Hi N92,

    It certainly mounts up very quickly, when the different tests are included. You also have the problem of having another wait to get back into the NHS system, if you need any further treatment. Now that you have your NHS appointment, you could phone again and say that you are willing to take a cancellation, if any come up. In the meantime, you can start a countdown to your appointment at last.

    Kind regards,

  • It does :( i was thinking of going upto A&E but im not sure if they would do anything?

  • Hi N92,

    I very much doubt that A & E would be willing to do anything for you, especially if they knew that you already had an appointment.

    Kind regards,

  • Good luck with your scan ,let us know how you get on xx

  • Just reading through some of these replies as I’m unable to sleep tonight due to the pain. I thought it had started to go but seems to of come back today with a bit of a vengeance so will be booking another doctors appointment and pushing for a referral of some kind.
