Hi Kat
Have you seen your GP. Been referred to the breast clinic?

Yes waiting now I'm having panic attacks and noy
copinh at all with two weeks to wait pain seems to be getting worse too
Oh Kat I'm so sorry to hear you're so anxious. Start working on your anxiety and calming yourself down. I meditate but it could be distracting yourself in lots of other ways. If it is cancer of any sort you'll need these techniques but they're handy in all situations.
I understand the waiting. I waited 5 weeks and watched my breast swell and redden whilst being reduced to tears by the pain which moved under my arm.
I know it seems like a long time and it is but the bottom line is that you're going to have to wait. Have you been given a course of antibiotics? It's what they'll ask when you go to clinic. If not I'd ask your GP for a course so that you've ticked that box and you don't have to wait further by taking them later. Hopefully it's an infection and will clear up.
If you want you can request me as a friend and we can chat further and privately in the coming weeks whilst you wait.
It's scary , I know.
Virtual hugs

Thank you, I called the dr and they've prescribed me antibiotics so I can tell the clinic that then thanks
That's great. Hopefully it is an infection and will clear up. If not it'll save you having to wait another week if the clinic prescribed them.
Let me know how you get on.
