For the past month I have had a tender right breast, its now slightly enlarged. Its like a dull ache, with the occasional twinge. Also an intermittent ache/pain in armpit.
GP thinks fibrocystic changes/a cyst. I can’t feel any lumps in the breast or armpit, not that I’m an expert, and the pain seems to move around. Not too sure whether its cyclical or not. No other changes, skin normal colour and texture.
I had a fibroadenoma removed 15 years ago, and my right side has always been lumpier and denser than the left side. I have my referral appointment next week but am so worried. Any ideas anyone? Mother had cysts aged 50, BC age 57.
