Hi,
So yesterday I noticed a red, tender lump on left breast. I phoned for a GP telephone appointment but ended up receiving a call back this morning. GP asked me to go into surgery for a physical check where he told me the lump was still there (but noted that I felt it was less swollen than yesterday) and that lymph nodes under both armpits are swollen. He repeatedly told me he thought it was an infection in the breast but has referred me to the breast clinic at local hospital just to be sure. Despite him constantly reassuring me it was just to be sure I can't help feel concerned as my grandmother died of breast cancer 10 years ago and I am trying my best not to dwell on this too much. Any advice to cope till my appointment is appreciated. TIA x
