Hi, I am due to go to breast clinic on Tuesday as I have been worried about soreness in my left breast. My doctor is sending me to ease my mind but I am terrified something is going to be found. I have had recurrent follicilitis in my armpits since July and currently using antibiotic gel which isn’t helping. On Thursday is noticed what feels like a large ropy lump in my left armpit which has sent me into a spin, not sure if connected to armpit infection but I am so worried. My mam and sister have both had breast cancer (brca2) gene but I was tested 14 years ago and I didn’t have the gene, worrying the test was wrong. My mam died eventually sister battled through but I am no where near as strong, have a young son too. I am 45, just dreading Tuesday.
