Hey

3 weeks ago I noticed my left breast felt fuller. It then became sore & discharge started to happen. I went to the GP & he gave me antibiotics. I've had cysts before in my breast so I didn't panic. Those antibiotics didn't work. I'm on new ones now with 1 a day fungal tablet for a further 7 days. It doesn't seem to be working. A week ago I developed shoulder blade pain in my left side, bruised type feeling & it hurts. My GP told me to go to urgent care at the hospital. The doctor said my left breast has redness & is a different size. When examining me, she found a lump in my left lymph node. I'm told to ring GP again Tuesday morning & ask to be referred to the hospital. I've also been feeling sick the past 3 days. I did what every person does & google my symptoms. I learnt about IBC which I'm glad I did as I'm educating my daughters but I am feeling worried. 
 

has anyone else had this?

  • Just wanted to say hello Wonderinglady and I hope your call to the GP tomorrow goes ok. If you'd like to read more about urgent referrals you can here

    When you are worried that you may have cancer, it can be tempting to look for answers online, but this can end up increasing anxiety rather than making you feel better. So try not to do this too much. The only person that can diagnose you is your doctor.  

    I hope this is helpful,
