Went to the GP and week ago with pain in my left breast and slight discharge..she examined me and referred me to the hospital on the 2WWas she said she felt a lump...since then my left breast has increasingly got more painful with pain going up into my armpit and also now my nipple is sore to touch..my apt at hospital isn't until the 27th Aug and im really worried now...my aunt (fathers side) died of breast cancer..does that make me more susceptible to having cancer
