Hi Ellaloz,

I am so sorry to hear that your mum's breast problems have escalated. I hope that now she has been admitted to hospital, that they will find out exactly what is wrong.

Thinking of you both and, please let us know how she gets on. We are always here for you.

Kind regards,

The fact it went away with antibiotics at one stage leads me to think it's an absess or some infection like cellulitis.

I hope she recovers fast 

Hi and thanks for your message..

i really hope you are  right. No news as yet as she was transferred to a different hospital they dont have the right fascilities at our hospital. And thats wasnt until after 1am so a long day ahead x

So sorry you have all this stress, hope it's a simple infection that antibiotics can take care of....what a start to 2019! 

Keep us posted xxxx

So today......

mum is on 2 different types of antibiotics now havnt touched it to be honest redness gone down ever so slightly but thats all,  she was supposed to have a scan today but they really want this swelling to go down so planning to go ahead with that tmoz wether they will or not i dnt no she cant have a mammogram as too painful

i keep having momens of feeling really positive then feel real fear and dread AWFUL!   

And on top of all that you have to be strong for your mum, well, it sounds like they have a plan in place, it will take time to kick in, you have no choice but to be patient....I hope you manage to sleep ok during this stressful time as the last thing you need is to be under the weather....keep us posted.....and take care xxxx

It does sound more like an infection. Cancer doesn’t usually come and go.

Hi Ellaloz,

Try not to worry too much - what will be will be and, no amount of worry will change your mum's diagnosis. It is early days for the antibiotics to kick in yet, but I'm glad to hear that the redness has gone down slightly.

What a pity that her breast swelling wasn't down enough to do the scan today, but I hope that they will be able to do it tomorrow.Your mum must be quite frightened by all that is happening. You will need to remain strong and positive for her. I know that it's not easy. I had to do this when my own mum's breast cancer spread to her brain, bones, liver and lungs.

I'm thinking of your family and praying that you soon find out what the cause of all this is.

Kind regards,

Shes been on oral antibiotics for 3 weeks prior to this think they are scanning it today reguardless as obviously they need to know whats goong on. All the sonsultant said yest was that if she was a young breast feeding woman we could understand but at your age we need to find whats going on as it isnt normal. Xx thanks for all your replies really appreiciate them and i will updat later see what today brings xx

Update already the antibiotics have not worked so sad and some one has forgot to book her in to breast clinic at the hosp so now consultants running round trying to chase that!
