2 small lumps & pain in breast

Hi

I have just had a baby 7 weeks ago and at the start of the week I went to the doctor with breast pain. Turned out I had 2 small grape like lumps as she described them side by side. I now have constant pain at the other side of my breast that constantly is sore even when I turn over in bed at night that feels like it is on my breast bone. I am worried sick and thinking the worst. I have also recently went on the mini pill about 4 weeks ago. My right breast has my veins showing all around it. I cant sleep properly and can barely eat for worrying. My appointment is 2 weeks away although I have booked a private one that is going to cost me for next week to get a diagnosis. I am so scared as I am only 24 and have a small baby to care for. I have been given antibiotics but they don't seem to be making a difference to anything. Any advice would be appreciated as I am making myself feel sick from being on Google everyday!

 

Thanks

  • Hi Leah96,

    Welcome to Cancer Chat. I'm sorry to read of your worries although it is of course perfectly natural to feel like this.

    Try to avoid Googling things to do with this - the information you find will often be irrelevant and/or outdated, and it only causes an increase in worry.

    It's good to hear you have an appointment booked - I hope it doesn't feel like too long to wait for this. Try to keep yourself busy/distracted in the meantime if you can.

    Wishing you all the best,
