Hallo Lisa
The title of the thread should be-

A case might illustrate this.

Hard lump, inflamed in left breast. It cannot be moved physically - ingrowing?. the size of a pea. Some redness and heat externally. The glands underarm left were swollen, hard, and unmovable as well.
The patient previously went to the medical doctor, who prescribed several courses of antibiotics with no effect and now took a tissue-sample for further investigation.
the patient was under great distress, fearing cancer, also because her mother died of breast cancer early.
Haemorrhoids bleeding -continuing problem , more prominent now
