worried

very worried had a few cysts before but this is different. Started with a red patch near my nipple bit like sunburn, by the next day I was red swollen and very sore, had a bit of leakage as well. Went to docs told it was an infection, given tablets felt better. Few days later swelling giong down discharge almost stopped,but now theres a lump and my nipples inverted. Back to docs I went who can feel the lump and theres on under my arm although I cant feel it, am going to hospital for a check not really sure how I feel upset ,angry but feel worse for my husband as he is more worried than me. I could just cry at the drop of a hat, am I normal?

yes you are normal - it’s a horrible horrible time waiting to get the check-up and the results, you always convince yourself that it will be worse case scenario and spend half the time worrying and the other half crying.

Do you have an appointment date yet?

Just remember that 9 out of 10 breast lumps turn out to be nothing to worry about. A bitof advice I slways post to new members is to be careful as to what you read on the internet - at this stage it is way too easy to do too much research and scare yourself even more.

I’ve been battling a breast abscess and for what it is worth those are the absolute spit of the symptoms I had. If it is that, they can be troublesome but are benign. Good luck with it all
