About Hes1987

Hiya, I don’t normally do things like these (forums), but I’m 33, married and mum to our 3 years old daughter. In February, I noticed pain in my right breast (purely from daughter using it as a pillow!!!). Thought nothing of it, but as the days went on I started to think about the pain and sort of dismissed it (but was still there). I rang gp the following week and was simply told vi phone call appt that women get breast pain all the time and not to worry. Then, 3 weeks ago, I noticed a small pea sized lump on side of my breast and I freaked out!! Called gp and got seen that day, and the nurse practitioner said she was confident it was blocked milk ducts caused by untreated mastitis. But I’ve been referred to our breast clinic (appt on Thursday). My mind is going overdrive thinking the worst and I’ve got so much to look forward to as we’re in the middle of selling and buying our new house! My letter from hospital says I can’t bring anyone with me (due to virus), but when I rang up the clinic I’ve been told my husband can come with me, because otherwise I really don’t think I’d be able to go through with it .
