Breast abscess

Hi am 29 years old. 5 weeks ago I found a lump on my breast got referred to breast clinic. Got mammogram ultrasound and biopsy was told that day I had cancer. Went back a week later to find out what kind to be told I don't have cancer the biopsy showed inflammation and abscess! I was put on antibiotics to see if it helps I'm back in 2 weeks time. Consultant talked about possible surgery! Has this ever happened to anyone else been told they had cancer when they didn't! 

  • Welcome to Cancer Chat, mel123465 although I'm sorry for the reason that brings you here.

    It sounds like you're going through a very confusing and worrying time after being told that you had cancer and then that you didn't.

    Hopefully other forum members who have been in a similar situation will come along shortly to share their stories with you as chatting with those who can understand does seem to help.

    In the meantime, if you want to ring our team of nurses and ask any questions you might have please know that they're available Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m on 0808 800 4040

    I hope all goes well for you.

    Best wishes,
