A few weeks ago I started to notice a pain in my left breast. It's not there all the time, but I notice it sometimes when I raise my arm or lift ds. It also felt a bit "burny" so I went to see the GP. She was great - examined me thoroughly, asked questions re family history of BC (none), and then said that it was unlikely to be anything like breast cancer, and that I should take high dose evening primrose oil and go back to see her in 8 weeks. (This was 2 weeks ago.)
Since then I have still not found any lumps, but my nipple has been itchy, which I initially dismissed, but then last night I freaked out after reading on here that an itchy nipple can be one of the first signs of BC.
I have made another appointment with the GP for midday today, so will need to leave soon, but I just wondered if there is anything else that I should ask or tell her? She seems a really thorough GP, but I am worried that she will send me away again and I'll continue to worry about this.
I have quite large breasts and I worry that if there was a lump that it may not be palpable.
Thanks.
