Spider bite or secondary Cancer?

I woke up a week ago with a huge blister on my breast. Went to emergency - they drained it and think its some sort of spider bite or autoimmune issue ..... I'm not so sure.

In the meantime I am due to see my breast surgeon in a few days to see what is going on. (had tram flap mastectomy Dec 2012) I am a little scared as its not really getting any better with antibiotics.

Doing the wait and see thing is hard

  • Hi!

    I went through a similar thing last August and then again in March - conclusion was it was probably a spider bite.  Inflammed breast.  My team are keeping an eye on it and I am to report any changes. 

    Your surgeon will soon put your mind at ease with the outcome and fingers crossed it is a silly old spider bite.

    Take care

  • I know it sounds easy to say but try and keep busy until you see your surgeon.  I am having some hip issues and trying not to think that it is anything sinister.  I am due for scans etch at the end of the month, so hopefully all will be ok.

    Hugs
