Newly Diagnosed Locally Advanced Breast Cancer
Hello Everyone I recently got diagnosed with what they thought was DCIS but after all the ultrasounds, MRI, CT, PET scan, and biopsies, the diagnosed me with stage 3, Locally Advanced Breast Cancer. ...
@kirstiekoala - definitely ring the clinic asap as it sounds like you may have some sort of infection, even tho you haven't had surgery yet.
Did you use a digital thermometer? It can be easy to misread the old 'stick' ones. If it is over 38˚, you definitely need to ring your GPs office & get an appointment TODAY as you may need antibiotics as many clinics may close down over the Xmas period & the sooner you get checked out, the better.
Ring & Tell them that you have breast cancer & need to see someone TODAY xx
Worst case scenario would be you attending Emergency at your local hospital if you can't get in to see someone this afternoon.
take care - I hope you can be seen today & start to feel better soon - it really sounds like you should be on Antibiotics PRONTO xx
