I do not know alot about how cancer begins. About three weeks ago I had a small red spot on my left breast. Almost overnight it became a gross sore with about a inch and a half of redness and was hurting bad. I went to the emergency because the pain was so bad and was affecting my right breast. I was given antibotics and a doctor appointment for two days later. I was not given to much information from the doctor since he was so busy and acted as if he was in a hurry. I am on Access Med plus and this doctor is the only one for counties around who takes this insurance. He told me if it was healed he was schduleing me for a biopsy. That is this Friday. There are two sores left that do not seem to want to heal. I am also noticing that I am not healing good such as I am a baker and I burned my hand at work two weeks ago and after five days it became swollen and throbbed. I have never had trouble healing before. It is finally healing but is still very sore to touch. I normally heal within a few days to a week at the most. I do not understand what is going on and hope maybe someone would know. Or has had this happen. Thank you.
