Hi guys, After perusing through the threads here over the past few days I now know that I really could do with some advice and you guys are the people to turn to. I went to see my GP today because an indentation in my breast, like most people in this situation I went to hear "oh it's just normal hormonal changes" or "it's nothing to worry about", instead I heard "you have a 4cm lump and an intriguing rash (on the same breast)". Panic set in and I then only heard that I would get an appointment at the breast clinic and would be seen within two weeks. I have been given antiviral meds and antifungal cream for the rash as it looks slightly like shingles although the doctor is sure that it's not shingles, and it could be thrush although the doctor said that was highly unlikely too but she wants to cover all bases. Could it be that I have an innocent lump and an odd rash in the same breast that are completely unrelated, could I be that lucky? I have had two previous scares and those times I knew I would be fine but this time feels different - i do wonder if i feel different because i have had enough of the scares of if this time i may not be so lucky. I understand that our local breast clinic does all the scans on the 1st appointment but is it normal to be able to deal with (look at) the rash too or would that need a further appointment? I just want the wait to be over - i only went today and so how am i going to manage two blinking weeks lol? Oh and is 4cm big or small? Sorry for ranting I think I am in shock. I hope someone can help. Hugs Teresa.
