Last week i developed around 15 red sore lumps under my armpits. I went to the doctor's she asked to look at and examine my breasts. They were fine she gave me antibiotics and said if they don't clear up in 2 days to go straight back. The redness has gone but i have developed a red sore lump on my breast just above and slightly on my nipple. I have Googled these symptoms and it's coming up breast cancer. I'm 33 and a mum of 3. I'm just wondering if anyone has experienced any of these symptoms and what was the out come. Thanks

Hi mumoflcd, I have been recently diagnosed with bc aged 34 whilst pregnant with 3rd child. My symptoms were nothing like yours mine was a blatant large hard lump. Not trying to scare you but just want to say don't be fobbed off without any proper tests because if it is and you catch it early it's easy to fix! Or as easy as chemo possibly can be but you can definitely survive it! Hope fully yours is nothing but you need to walk away knowing that for sure. Mine didn't show on a mamagram being young with dense breast tissue so ultrasound is essential at our age. Good luck and hope it's nothing! x

Go to the doctors first thing tomorrow morning. There is no point in putting this off and explain that you are having serious concerns. They should see you right away and if they are professionals they will take you seriously. Last year I thought I found a lump (when I was 23) and was in pieces. I went to a doctors that I was not even registered at (as I had just moved house), they could see what a panic I was in and saw me right away for an examination. Turned out to be absolutely nothing. Best of luck to you, hope that everything is fine xx
