Breast clinic appointment

Hi, 

After going back and forth my doctor for the past 3 weeks as I still felt something was off, I've been refered to a breast clinic. I spent most of Wednesday crying, even though this was the result I wanted. Today has been rough too, feeling very down but trying to remain positive. It wasn't until about half hour ago I was feeling somewhat calm and I noticed an isect type bite on my 'problem' breast. I had a simialr one three weeks ago that a course of antibiotics cleared up. I've now noticed a third too. I'm absolutely terrified it's IBC. I'm having a lot of trouble sleeping, I may get out of bed for 4/5 hours tops and barely get dinner/tea down me. I know I'm only 21 but there is always still that chance. My nipple has also been inverted on and off plus a swelling in the same breast. 

Anyone had any experience with these symptoms and it been good news?

  • Hello Concernedgirl,

    I'm sorry you've been feeling this way. You've done the right thing in expressing your concerns and getting a referral, but please try not to worry. You can read more about referrals here, which might be useful and it's important to try not to look for answers online, althought it might be tempting. This only ends up having a negative effect on your wellbeing. Mindfulness is also a good way to focus away from your worries and could help you sleep better.

    Best wishes,
