Very scared

sorry to post without actual diagnosis, but I am very scared and I believe that I have breast cancer. Long story short, I have been in and out of doctors not knowing why I'm having chest pain back pain and now with all of the changes and pain in my breasts and redness and burning I am very scared as I have a 2 yr old little guy. I know sounds weird but I just wish someone could look at them and tell me if its normal or not. My breasts are lop sided now and I have a hard spot on left breast lots of new veins all over chest and get red spots that appear out of nowhere. Just needing to know how to get a doc to listen to me or what to do?

I hear you. I am a survivor of very early stage breast cancer. What is happening to your breast is scary. Is there a family history of breast cancer? Has a dermatologist looked at the skin on your breast? Have they suggested mammograms or biopsies of the hard spot? What type of doctors have you seen? Did you breast feed your young child and are you still breast feeding? This site is suppose to be a place to get support. I am listening. Keep asking questions and getting referrals to other specialists. I hope you find answers soon.

Thank you so much for listening. I just had a back X-ray done Friday because of the searing upper back pain with this physicians assistant, which I'm ok with because she listens. I emailed her and told her I strongly suspect breast cancer because the pain I am experiencing in back and breasts are coming from inside strong burning pain and now my left looks lower than the right and in that left breasts feels like I can't catch my breath because something stuck there. I will see what she says tomorrow . Hopefully orders ultrasound for my me because I've been reading that ultrasound is better than mammogram? Is that right? Thank you for replying! My sister had Ovarian cancer but no breast cancer on my moms side.

Yes I breastfed for only one month because could not produce enough milk then after I had him all of this chest pain and back pain started. I see Kaiser docs which I am not happy with. They don't take second look at my breasts but I'm like I've let this go long enough now my breasts are I distorted and I'm in pain all the time the main thing that really sticks out to me is the shape of my left one especially like there is a dip between nipple to top of breast.

I am a survivor of stage2 breast cancer. I suggest everything 2DancrAgain did. Must get a sonogram, and doctor will recommend a biopsy if the lump is suspicious.
I hope you don't have breast cancer although many of us do survive today
I eat very clean. Many fruits and veggies that are organic and gmo free as best as possible. No meats with growth hormones or added antibiotics.
Clean filtered ph balanced water. Cancer cells can't survive in a ph balanced environment.
God bless you and please keep us updated.
