I am beside myself.
Two weeks ago, woken with pain in left breast. No itchiness, dimpling, inversion of nipple. Antibiotics and pain wasn’t as bad but still feeling like something is not quite right. Feels really uncomfy and still slightly sore. Can’t feel a lump. Now have recently found a lump under the nipple on my right breast.
Went to the docs the morn after the pain and got referred to the breast clinic. Appointment this coming Friday three weeks after seeing the doc.
I’m trying to be strong but failing miserably. Just don’t know what to do. How to get through.
Dear Dizmoo
I’m so sorry you find yourself in this worrying situation. Waiting for appointments and results is very hard.
I’ve attached a link to our booklet which outlines what to expect at your clinic appointment. I hope this helps:
