Hi there I completed chemo and radiotherapy in may this year for grade 3 breast cancer have been doing great but for the last 10 day noticed my left breast has become bigger than the right I have my yearly mammogram this Friday should I wait and speak to them or do you think should contact my doctors? Or am worried for nothing
thanks xx
Hi , I think if it was me I would contact your doctor before your appointment on Friday. There are many reasons for swelling in the breast and you may need a course of antibiotics which would obviosly be better started sooner than later. I don't wish to worry you just giving my honest opinion .Sending hugs xx
