Breast lumps

Hi everyone......I have a bit of a long story so I'm sorry if I bore you all but I'm at my wits end pretty much. I have large boobs and have always had spots cysts boils etc on them under them on the sides etc. I'm going through a really really tough time at the moment with my mental health, I've always struggled with it and have medication for years and years, it's always been related to health anxiety and since my little man was born 9 years ago its 1000 times worse. Anyway I had a red lump not massive tiny infant come up on my right boob not to far from my areola, as I'm sure with many of us I gave it a squeeze bit nothing can out. As I said I've been struggling with other stuff so it didn't really play on my mind, then I noticed the redness was mostly all gone but the lump visible outside was still there. Mind starts, then another one other side of my breast same breast came up sore and red. This was Friday I noticed this and now I am fixated on the fact I have inflammatory breast cancer!!! Saw my doc Friday and she said cysts and gave me fucidin cream......my brain was everywhere with other stuff too so I miss laid the prescription. I've been putting sudocream on, went back to the doctors today she still says cysts and has given me more cream and I believe for my sanity referred me to the breast clinic. She said all breast referrals are now in the 2 week category so when the paper work comes with cancer 2 week speedy appointment on I'm going to be even more mental!!!!!!! We have booked a short trip to Dorset this Friday and back Monday so I expect it will be waiting for me then unless it comes in the next two days.

Has anyone experienced anything like this. I'm 39 and I can't bear the thought of leaving my son. I'm constantly crying and I feel like I might actually go nuts.

Thanks for reading. Hope it makes sense xxxx

First of all, don't panic.

Most breast clinic referrals are very quick, it's not that you're been rushed through.

I think it's best to get it checked out. It will probably be nothing.

You go to the breast clinic and you're examined by a doctor, you then have a mammogram. At this point they may say it's nothing.

If they're not sure you will have an ultrasound and possibly a biopsy but your case may be slightly different. You could be there up to 3 or 4 hours depending on how busy they are.

They will tell you there and then what they think. They are all amazing and will put you at ease. The only negative bit is you're not allowed to take anyone with you because of covid
