I currently have an infection in my left breast on antibiotics but dr said if the antibiotics don't work then he's looking at inflammatory breast cancer, he told me I should start to see results in a few days but it's been 6 days now and I'm still have the same symptoms, has anyone else been through this.

I'm 31 had a hysterectomy in feb this year. I'm also on immune suppressants.

Phone your surgery in the morning. I had this one bout after another. Was fast tracked to cancer clinic. Not cancer but consultant said to wear a bra day and night only removing for a shower. Touch wood apart from the odd achey day I've avoided another infection. The antibiotics were vile

I had mastitis in this breast, loads of scarring damaged ducts.

Thank you i will give them a call at 8am and hopefully can get an appointment in wearing a sports bra day and night and got co-codomol to help with the pain im just worried as I really don't have the best luck health wise

The bra needs to be really tight and hoik the breast up so it's not carrying any weight. A proper non wired bra with adjustable straps is better
