I have just returned from holiday and while away I realised whole applying sun cream that my left armpit is swollen. I have had breast pain in my left breast for years. It comes and goes and is not connected to my periods.  I went to the doctor about it and was told it was nothing to worry about so I tried to put it to the back of my kind. I have been examining myself again tonight and my left armpit is definitely swollen. I’ve decided to phone the doctor in the morning. I looked my symptoms up on the internet and found myself reading about inflammatory breast cancer and realised I have other symptoms which match this (breast and nipple itching, possibly some dimpling). I’m now scared out of my mind and just need to talk to someone

    Hi , I hope your night wasn’t as long as you were expecting. Thanks for completing your profile, and I see you have joined the breast cancer group to.  I hope you feel you can begin a post to introduce yourself over there and get the support from others affected by breast cancer, they even have an awake thread for people having difficulty sleeping. 

    Take care
