Thurs Aug 28 Further to my above post, I can now say that 3 Dr's and a Radiologist at my local hospital's Breast Clinic have exmined me today and I have had a mammogram and ultrasound of the affected breast. Nothing involves the breast tissue and I have been told however that the skin changes are still bit of a worry. I am being watched like a hawk by my family Dr and have been greatly reassured by the all Dr's who have endeavoured to solve the problem.
