Worried

Hello all. I'm 60 years old. Flipping scared I've got Breast Cancer. No lumps or bumps in my Breast or armpit. But blood works came back showing something (infection)? I have had an ache in my armpit for the last 6 months. It's not always there comes and goes, more there when I'm tired, stressed etc. Anyway for the last week I've also had an ache in both shoulders. The more I worry the worse the aches are. Now I'm thinking is it all stress or is it real, or have i got arthritis. Had an appointment at my local hospital to have a scan but it was cancelled due to Covid, I was told to ring back in 3 months for another appointment.
  • Hi Gilltanne and welcome to the forum.

    I'm sorry that your scan got cancelled. It must be very frustrating but hopefully they can get you booked in once the current pandemic has become more manageable. 

    Did the doctors tell you what the blood results showed? If not, do try and see if you can find out as it may help to steady your nerves during this unsettling time.

    Hopefully some of our members will get back to you soon but I just wanted to let you know your post has been seen and that we're thinking of you.

    Kind regards,

  • Hello.

    Thank you for the reply.

    The Blood test showed up high white blood cell count. 

    My arm pit aches constantly. I'm desperate for my breast scan. 2 Drs couldn't feel anything unusual but, it's a swollen gland that comes and goes, I can feel it on bad days.
