Went to gp yesterday about lump in breast I've felt for a few weeks. It is tender around the area too and she said it might be mastitis. I've had mastitis a few times and know how it feels. This doesn't feel like that. She rang the breast specialist at the hospital who suggesting putting a needle in it at the doctors surgery [by gp not by specialist]not quite sure why, but to see if anything came out of it Don't fancy that at all so she has referred me but said 'non urgently' Feel a bit concerned. I know they think I'm a hypochondriac, I've been to the breast clinic before and they found a cyst [same breast] and I've also had palpitations earlier this year and was referred to cardiologist [i cancelled as palpitations went on for 2 months then stopped]
Should I just wait for a non urgent appt? Any way I can push for a quicker referral?
