hi. I’m 24 and have been referred to the urgent referral care for breast screening. i initially went into my GP because it’s been roughly a year and my breast are still producing milk, it happens a lot when my cycle is due. the milk is only coming from one breast which is the left, as that’s the breast my son preferred. i know that 1 of the symptoms for breast cancer is leaking/discharge from the nipple but I’m only leaking milk, that’s all. during my appointment with my GP she examined my breast and the same left breast which is leaking milk is somewhat slightly thicker in tissue. I told her that I am currently on my cycle which could be why my breast might have felt more ‘thicker/fuller’ right? she sent me to get blood test done for my prolactin and now I’m scheduled to get a ultrasound done on my breast in 2 weeks. she didn’t explain anything to me like why she’s referring me to the urgent cancer unit. I’m terrified. I’ve been checking an feeling my breast to try and feel what my GP did but I don’t feel anything. 

Could I have cancer?
