Hi all. I woke up on Sunday morning to find my right breast swollen and a half if it feeling quite firm. Nipple slightly dark. No other symptoms and no history in the family. I got in the doctors yesterday and was checked over by her and a student and instantly referred. How does this happen so quick? I am petrified. I keep looking at Google and self assessment is inflammatory cancer which is fairly rare. I cannot believe its happening. I am just waiting now and cry at times I'm alone. I am 46.
