Hiya,
wanted to message on here for some advice and your own experiences.
Twice before I have been referred to the breast clinic and on both occasions had to have large cysts drained (which although painful was a positive outcome for me).
I was told then that I have major calcifications and hundreds of tiny cysts in both breasts, my left one being worse. I was told that makes me higher risk of eventually having breast cancer. The last time was back in March 2023.
Two weeks ago I found more lumps in my left breast, it is painful to touch and feels like constant toothache, the pain has now spread into my upper arm, under my armpit and neck and shoulder.
I’ve been to the GP today and she’s referred me, and has stated in the form she wants but only an urgent referral but fit me to be seen ASAP. She did Susan to me about cancer but tbh I was in shock so didn’t really take in what she said.
Has anyone else had a similar experience? This time feels different and I am a single mum with an 18 and 13 year old and don’t have the support of a partner at home. I do have a lovely boyfriend though and a really supportive family.
thanks,
Claire
