Hi,
I am absolutely terrified. I am 19 weeks pregnant and I noticed my left breast felt thicker on the right side and the pores looked noticeably larger. I also have a red inflamed looking area around the breast.
Called GP, I was referred to the breast clinic and they said it didn't look that bad but sent me for an ultrasound. The sonographer said the scan showed normal but confirmed breast thickening so wasn't happy for me to just to home as suggested by the consultant. I got sent back to the consultant who just said that it was nothing sinister and just inflammation probably pregnancy related. Just to make sure it doesn't get worse.
I'm so worried it could be inflammatory breast cancer and not sure why they never gave me a mammogram/biopsy.
Has anyone had anything like this before and it turn out to just be pregnancy problems?
