Waiting for breast clinic appt

hello all, this is my first post here so..

i have noticed a lump in my breast that’s very painful. It’s burns like it’s on fire and is also quite itchy. Last Thursday I went to the doctor about it, having been through a scare before  to be told it was just inflamed tissue. Anyway the doctor had another GP take a look and has requested a fast track appt for cancer. Since Thursday I have noticed my breast shape has changed and feels heavy. I now have a constant throb in my armpit and ache in my shoulder.. 

i was pretty sure it would just be inflamed tissue but now I’m beginning to think it may actually be cancer. I should hopefully get my appt this week. 

 

  • Hi debaby87, I noticed you hadn't had a reply yet so I just thought I'd quickly stop by and welcome you to the forum. 

    I'm sorry about the lump you've found and the changes you've noticed in your breast. It's always scary when unexplained symptoms occur but try not to let your mind run away with you if you can. I know that is a lot easier said than done but your appointment will be here soon and that it will be able to provide you with some answers.

    We have a large number of ladies on the forum who have been in a similar position so hopefully you'll hear from them soon but whilst you wait I thought I'd share some information I've found on what will happen at your appointment.

    All the best,
