Scared

Hi, 

Im a 42 year old mum of two. I recently started noticing a creamy yellow discharge in my bra,coming from one breast only, so I've booked an appointment with the dr for next week. Last night I was checking myself and found a hard lump in my nipple, now I'm terrified. 
I'm winding myself up something rotten, clutching at straws. Mr Google is not my friend. I've barely been able to concentrate, I cry every time I see my kids & hubby and think the worst. I'm a mess.

  • Hello there and thanks for posting

    I can appreciate you are worried about these symptoms but try not to over think things or let your mind run away with you for now.

    Most symptoms have a simple and straightforward reason other than cancer and this includes nipple discharge.

    Please don't google anymore if you can as it is unable to diagnose people or say what the matter is for you and usually increases people's anxiety levels unnecessarily.

    You have done the right thing be seeing your GP and they will assess you and if need be refer you to the breast clinic just to be on the safe side.

    Keep yourself busy and your mind on other things whilst waiting.

    I hope everything works out okay for you but do get back in touch if you would like.

    Best wishes

  • Hi Naomi, 

    Thanks so much for replying, I know I've done totally the wrong thing with googling things. I'm such a worrier, I don't know why I do it to my self. With my family not living locally it's been so hard but I have got an amazing friends group for support. 
     

    Oh, I've plenty to keep me going, packing for the Isle of Wight festival on Thursday and my son's school residential the following week. (I hate packing! lol)  My dog thinks it's his birthday every day, he's been on mamouth walks just to keep me out the house. 
     

    I'll keep you updated. 
    Thanks again,
