This may be long winded, but i'm very
young, and know absolutly nothing about
breast conditions. And I am hoping
someone can help me at all.
A few months ago I woke up to find a very
painful, tender swell in my right breast.
I being the naturally parnoid person I am,
rushed right to the doctor to get a breast
exam. My doctor was quite worried, and
sent me to a radiologist for an
ultrasound. The ultrasound came back with
results that I had not only a solid mass,
but a liquid one as well, and the entire
mass being over 2 centimeters. I was
schedualed for a core biopsy, and told
there was a posibility it was cancer. It
turns out, that the mass was a very bad
infection, and benign, and removed. They
gave me an anti biotic and told me I
should feel better soon. However it's
only gotten worse, the lump never felt
like it went away, and it gets so sore
now, I can't sleep. The skin on my breast
itches badly at times, and my nipple has
become flattened.
Has anyone ever had a simillar situation,
or know what might be wrong?

Please just go back to your doctor even if
you feel your being over paranoid.
Its probably that the infection is still
active and you need a further dose of
antibiotics
im 24 and run a high risk of developing
breast cancer I have regular ultrasounds
but its always in the back of my mind
i do reed up on breast cancer a lot and
they say the majority of breast lumps turn
out to be nothing at all
let me know how you get on
