Hi
I found a lump in my left armpit around 6/7 weeks ago about the size of a blueberry, not painful but became a little sore I think due to me obsessively touching, the breast is a little tender if pressed (like before having a period) but nothing debilitating . I went to the gp who examined me and referred me on a 2 week wait. I went to the breast clinic, I wasn't expecting a mammagran due to my age (37) but probably an ultrasound. I was examined and the consultant marked 2 areas under my armpit and the left of my breast. I was surprised as that was the only bit they scanned. I was at least expecting the whole breast to be examined and also the other. Is this standard practice? I was the last patient and it felt rushed, I was informed it was inflammation and given a course of 10days of antibiotics. I don't feel reassured, shoukd I put my faith in them. I feel cramp in my left side at times since (a bit like a stitch) but now I'm not sure if that's anxiety. I have recently lost my step dad to oesophageal cancer which doesn't help my situation.
Any experience of the same thing?
Thank you for reading.
