I have had a red rash on my breast since early summer. I have tried antihistimines, steroid creams etc, buy nothing shifted it. I saw my GP on thursday last week. She has said suspected breast cancer due to the rash & thickening of the skin - however, apparantly a critera has to be met prior to being allowed to refer to breast clinic. Apparantly breadt clinics wont accept patients unless other treatment is tried first, This involves a course of antibiotics & more steroid cream. After 2 weeks Im supposed to return to the gp for the referral to be made & then there will be another 2 week wait. Is this normal?
