Hi, I have never done anything like this before but just wanted some advise. I am 32 with over the muscle implants (2 years+). I have been experiencing a sharp like electric blot pain in my left nipple and across the middle of my breast for around 6 weeks which has become more regular. The top of my left breast is swollen and the nipple appears “droopy” but no skin changes or lumps. I breastfeed all three of my children and I stopping feeding my youngest 2.5 years ago but “milk” now leaks while asleep or on pressure but it’s not blood stained.

My gp confirmed all my of the above and booked a non urgent referral to the breast clinic. Stating it was just to check the implant was playing ball. I expected to wait 6-9 weeks however have been given an appointment within the two week time frame.

This make me feel guilty because I don’t have any tell tale signs of breast cancer and I feel like a fraud for stealing someone else’s appointment. I feel I will be embarrassed when I go for seeming dramatic and wasting the amazing staffs time plus depriving the appointment was someone who needs it more.

should I rearrange the appointment for a few weeks given my situation is not urgent but I do need to know if something is going on because I am in pain and it seems to be travelling into my shoulder and arm?
