Hi everyone, I'm a loose end as I can't actually get a appointment with docs atm :( and the pain is driving me mad now.
So a few weeks ago I noticed my left nipple reverted in and upwards, left two weeks to see if went back, it didn't infact I kept having burning Sting sensation and throbbing every now and again a sharp pain.
Docs refered me to breast specialist, he could see the change and did ultra sound , and then took a biopsy due to family history of women with breast cancer (infact all women on mother's side , at this time my mum actually had breast cancer for the second time so didn't want to upset her or worry her as she was going through enough with all the operations and chemo and radiotherapy. )
So they took 6 samples from my boob. Ouch.
Two weeks later went back for results - consultant said it's normal for my age and nothing to worry about. But to keep checking regularly and keep an eye on it.
he said It's thickening of the tissue - he said it was duct ectasia.
I did ask what can I take to stop the pain I keep constantly getting in my left breast as it's still coming and it really sore sometimes. He told me to take evening primrose oil capsules which I've been taking. But they take months to take effect :(
I can't tell if it's related to my cycle as I don't have periods , haven't done for 7years. I have been logging it but can not see a regular pattern.
Im 32 , only medication I take is the cerzetta pill to lower the estogen as a genetics consultant told me to take this 7 years ago as the cancer in the women are all estogen based - I'm awaiting my appointment with the genetics consultant again to discuss future medical concerns and possible removable of breasts and medications due to the fact I'm at high risk. This isn't till August so a little while yet.
Not sure why I'm posting but wandering if someone has tips to help ease the pain or what to ask docs for when I can get s appointment really? Anyone similar?
Thanks
Hope some can advise or help somewhere
