Hi, I suppose my problems started with breast pain back in May, felt a lot like mastitis but I just blamed hormones! The pain varies from tenderness, heaviness, to stabbing pains! Then about 4 weeks ago I noticed my left boob looked distinctly more swollen, I saw my doc last week, and I now have an appointment at the breast clinic on the 3rd! I swear as each day goes by my boob seems to be swelling! Starting to look distinctly lopsided!! There is no redness, occasionally itchy, armpit pain, and i think swollen gland near collar bone? Anyone ever experience this?
Hi Gill17
I am sorry to read you’re having a difficult time at the moment, I’m sure some of the other users willbe a long soon to offer you their support and experiences.
In the meantime you might find it useful to look at the BCC publication 'referral to a breast clinic, I’ve inserted the link here:-
www2.breastcancercare.org.uk/publications/worried-about-breast-cancer/referral-breast-clinic-bcc70
Also if you need to talk things through please don’t hesitate to give the BCC helpline a call on 0808 800 6000. Here you can share your feelings and concerns with a member of staff who will offer you a listening ear as well as emotional support and practical information. Lines are open Monday to friday 9 to 5pm and Saturday 10 to 2pm

I also have a breast which has become increasingly lower than the other one and appears as though the tissue at the top is less. I didnt know whether to go to the doctors as of yet
