Anxiously awaiting appointment

I visited the doctors on Friday with a lump in my breast I'm 20 weeks PP after my little girl and I've not breastfed.I was prescribed antibiotics which seem to have made me feel better so definitely feel like I've had an infection of some sort but the lump hasn't gone down.

I'm going back Friday and just feel so sick. I'm hoping I'm referred because she did mention my armpit was swollen and this week that's where the pain has been not really in the breast..

My boobs are awful anyway after weight loss and gain they certainly have lost elasticity anyway so on that front nothing really has changed apart from this lump. What can I expect on the day if I'm referred for the ultrasound. I'm trying to think what will be will be then just want to sit and cry and cuddle my little girl.

 

  • I'm sorry for the worry this lump is causing EmJ12345.

    I'm sure some of our members who have been in this position will be along soon to offer their support and share their experiences with you but I hope this information I've found on what may happen at your appointment if you are referred will help whilst you wait.

    Good luck for Friday EmJ. We'll be thinking of you and hoping your GP is able to put your mind at ease but if anything pops up that you forget to mention or want to discuss further then you're welcome to give our team of cancer nurses a call on 0808 800 4040, Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m.

    Kind regards,
