Am I paranoid
Hi Everyone,
i found a lump over 2 weeks ago and because I have a history went straight to my gp had ultrasound just got my results and have been told I have mastitis let me explain I am 43 and hav...
Two years ago I developed mastitis and I was hospitalised for four days on IV antibitics. My boob was red, hot swollen, and I was having rigors and had a high temperature. I hadn't breastfed for 6 years. Once the mastitis had resolved I had a mammogram which was followed by an USS and a core biopsy which showed I had fibrocystic breast disease. Mastitis is usually quite an acute illness and can leave you feeling very ill. Given your history a second opinion would help give you peace of mind. All the best Fiona.
