AIBU to be a bit worried?

[EmilyRosiEl]

I went to the GP yesterday and he is referring me on a two-week referral to a breast clinic for redness, texture change and bite-like marks on/in my bust. I also have a painful chest.

I wasn't sure what it could be so googled and found 'Inflammatory breast cancer' a few weeks ago (when the symptoms started)', which is a rare, fast spreading condition that can affect younger women and is diagnosed at a late stage (3/4). I'm 30 and don't even have my own family but was planning to.

AIBU to feel a bit scared?

Good luck OP for tomorrow. Thinking of you zzzz for tonight

Thank you Shriek! There's nothing I can do to change the outcome tomorrow so I'm going to try to relax and read :)

Oh good for you! That's something you can do

Good luck! Hope everything is just fine.

I hope everything goes well, OP.

Hope all goes well 

Thank you Sunny, Hollow and Pieceofpurplesky, I'm feeling a bit anxious about it!

Thinking of you 💐

Thank you QOD!

Here too

Good luck xxx

Been thinking about you all day, hope it went ok.

How was your appointment OP?
Hope it all went well

Hi op. I have only just read your thread, but wanted to send you my best wishes. I hope today went ok and you are holding up well.

Thanks so much for your support and for thinking of me Costacoffeecup, Shriek, MrsPotter, Hidillyho and Stormwhale and everyone.

I had an ultrasound and I'm so relieved to be able to say it's not cancer- just benign thickening and inflammation!

Brilliant news! So pleased for you

Really pleased to hear everything's ok for you...just as an aside, your asthma symptoms may have been brought on by stress, it's not unusual for asthma to worsen during periods of stress and anxiety, so I hope that settles down for you now too x

Very pleased to read your update OP. Phew.

Ah that's great news!!!!! Dermatologist said my mole isn't anything to worry about and he can cut it off after I give birth so good news here too. I hope you're having a big drink of something strong 😀

Oh that's great Costacoffeecup! so glad to hear it's OK too! and thanks for thinking of me when you had your own scare to contend with, i'm so sorry I was so self-focused and forgot to ask! xx

Thank you Greatduck,clydeonabike and Frederick!

Clydeonabike, I think you might be right about my asthma- I'm hoping now that I'm calmer things will improve with it too!

xx

That is absolutely bloody fantastic news op. What a relief!!! Still, be kind to yourself as you have been through the wringer over this and I wouldn't be surprised if you felt a bit wobbly. So so pleased for you.

Don't panic - and don't panic if they bring you in for more tests. I had 4 breasts scans (thought I'd be going back and forth for ever) but it was fine in the end. Mine was also red and a little hot and a duct had blocked/become infected. Obviously still go for your checks... that was just me (just saying it can be other things too).

@EmilyRosiEl don't be silly, yours sounded far more worrying than mine.

I hope you get on with the plans you made! Puts things into focus a bit doesn't it!

Phew! So relieved for you!
