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.

    Hi N92,

    I'm not too bad thank you. I was back at the breast clinic on Tuesday, to investigate why I am fitting and collapsing, quite frequently and am now waiting for a CT scan. They've said that I should get one in about 2 weeks, so, like everyone else here, I am patiently waiting and hoping that there's a non- cancer related reason for them.

    How are you coping with your wait, now that you have a date?

    Kind regards,

    Thank you so much. You are of course going to think the worse, because I had a lump too I was convinced it had to be something bad, all the reading up on google made me feel so much worse. Monday will soon come round and I really hope your mind will be at ease x

    Hi I'm ok I think except the symptoms I had last year which lead to me having a Colonoscopy and Hysteroscopy have returned despite getting the all clear a year ago so I'm keeping an eye on that I've just received another Fit test in the post so we'll see how that goes , but there's so many people on here with the same symptoms as myself and worried about having to have a Colonoscopy and then waiting for results its good to be able to calm people and reassure them with experience you had yourself , I know how I was when I first heard I could have Ovarian cancer I was so glad to find this site ,like many others reading Google posts I had myself in an early grave and it stays with you despite being told nothing worrying was found ,Its good to be there for others x

    Hi Jenny,

    I'm so sorry to hear that your symptoms are back again and still giving you cause for concern.  I'm glad to hear that you are about to do another fit test - don't be afraid to seek further investigation if your symptoms continue.

    It is great to have you here supporting all of those with the same symptoms and helping to calm them with the benefit of your experience. Like you, I have found this site to be of tremendous support to me in the past and this is why I try to support others as best as I can.

    I agree that Google would have you in a 6" box with the slightest injury, but it is only natural that this is our first port of call.

    Please let us know how your fit test goes - I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you.

    Kind regards,

    Jolamine xx
