Breast & Armpit pain

Hi,

I have been having a burning, itching feeling on my left breast, then began to notice that it seemed to be in the way (swollen). Just put it down to hormonal but last week I had a very black fingerprint bruise appear on it, saw the doctor who could not feel a lump but didnt like the look of it so was going to refer me, hospital have just rung to see me on the 11th June. Lovey lady on the end of the phone, said she was sorry that she couldnt get me in sooner but I was in the 2 week bracket and advused to bring someone with me. Now starting to feel pretty scared.......

  • Welcome to Cancer Chat, ellie2601 and thank you for posting. 

    I see from your post that you are worried about some symptoms you have but I'm glad that you took charge and booked an appointment to have them checked.

    When under your circumstances it's only normal to be anxious but do try to focus on other things until your appointment on the 11th of June.

    However, if you find yourself unable to think about anything else and feel like asking some questions to someone medically trained our cancer nurses are a phone call away on this number 0808 800 4040, Monday - Friday, between 9 a.m - 5 p.m.

    I hope this helps.

    Best wishes,
