About 6 weeks ago I was diagnosed with mastitis I'm not breastfeeding and I'm 19 . I've had this a few times before in the last year but it's never been like this before. I was first given a weeks worth of antibiotics which I took and they didn't work. I was then given a weeks worth of steroids which also didn't work. Doctor tried to give me more steroids but they made me feel too sick and then the same happened with a different antibiotic. My left boob is so swollen and red and painful. I've seen on this website that if mastitis doesn't get better after antibiotics you should be referrered to a breast clinic.  This just hasn't happened. Now around a year ago I found a lump in my right breast which was a fibroadenoma. Since then it's got a lot bigger and doctors said it should be fine. In the last few days I've found a new lump in the right breast which is red and hot which makes me Worry. I'm massively worried that it's inflammatory breast cancer, I've seen the symptoms and the way that the supposed mastitis has behaved etc. I'm honestly so worried. I have an appointment with the nurse tomorrow but I wish I couldve been referred to breast clinic before now. I know cancer is rare in someone of my age but rare doesn't mean it's not possible so I'm so worried. I genuinely feel like Doctors's don't take me seriously because of my age. So scared x
