i hope im not invading a space not meant for me, i made this account because i need a bit of ‘mummy advice’ right now that my own mum can’t give me. im 17 and my mum has a referral to the breast clinic next week and i am really really worried. a few weeks ago she went to the gp and was diagnosed with mastitis, they gave her anti biotics and then changed the course because they made her ill. the infection cleared up but her breast is still swollen, it is not red, warm or heavy but the gp did note like a grainy feeling. there is no thickening of the skin, no skin rash, dimpling, swollen lymph nodes or lump however she does have like an aching pain near her arm pit she is not ill either. the gp referred her to the breast clinic 2 weeks ago for an urgent referral because she is 49 which is the same age that her mother was diagnosed with breast cancer, she died five years later when it spread to her lungs. if anybody has any advice on what i can do to help her or has any experiences of their own they can share i think that would really help i am so scared right now and i can’t talk to anybody really about it, i can talk to my friends but they can’t really relate so it’s hard i feel like a broken record :( also no body else in my family knows except for my dad so i can’t even really talk to my brothers or anything
