Hello and thanks for your post,

I am sorry to hear about your situation. It is never easy to be told that you need to have further investigations.

Doctors do have guidelines about when to send women to a breast clinic just to rule anything serious out. Most women referred to breast clinics are found not to have cancer but it is always a good idea to make sure.

Nipple discharge is not usually the result of something serious. Have a read about what the NHS have to say about nipple discharge here

The charity Breast Cancer Now have information about what to expect at a  breast clinic which you can see here

I hope you know more about your situation soon.

Do get back to us or give us a ring if you want to talk any of this through with one of the nurses on the helpline.  The number to call is Freephone 0808 800 4040 and the lines are open from 9am till 5pm Monday to Friday.

All the Best,

Catherine
