Waiting and worrying

morning all , 

mom a 37 year old lady . 

In the last 10 weeks my breast has grown from a D cup to a G cup , I had a large hard red patch from the nipple and went to see my gp . 

Hes reffered me to the breast clinic but says there is nothing to worry about . 

The red patch has now faded but looks purple and spread, I have a shooting pain in my breast too . 

Has anyone else had anything similar ?? 

I have been through the menopause ten years ago due to a hysterectomy and I have never breast fed . 

Is it a good sign the bright red rash has gone ? My breast is an odd shape and my nipple is pulling into the side ?? 

 

Thanks everyone

  • Hello love, you've done absolutely the right thing in going to your gp. Do you know if his put you on the urgent referral? It usually takes 2 weeks for an appointment to come through, if he hasn't the appointment could well take longer, the only thing that concerns me a little are the changes you describe after your initial gp appointment. 

    Give your gp surgery a ring and chase up that breast clinic appointment, and tell them about the changes you've noticed.....just for peace of mind.

    let us know how you get on? X

  • morning , 

     he has yes I have an appointment on Thursday . I’m hoping the change from bright red to purple is a good sign or maybe I’m clutching at straws ‍♀️.

    hopefully it’s nothing serious the increase in size has concerned me I was measured on 6th June and was a 34D I went after my doctor appointment and was measured a 34G on that breast . 

    I Cant upload photos as the site won’t allow . 

     

    Thank you for your response 

  • You haven't got too long to wait then....the clinic is a well oiled machine, no stone will be left unturned....

    is there anyone you can take? There can be so much waiting around, it's good to have someone to chat to...

    please let me know how it goes? X
