Hi oldblueeyes,
Thanks for posting. I’m sorry that you have been unwell recently, I hope that you are feeling better after having antibiotics. With any breast changes, many women do feel worried, you did the right thing by visiting your GP to examine the lump in your left breast, it is standard practice for a GP to refer to a breast clinic when an acute abscess is suspected. Please do not hesitate to contact our support line on 1800 200 700 if you would like any advice or support.
Kind regards,
Cancer nurse
