Just abit of advise please :)

I recently went to the breast clinic, I went in and they done an ultra sound they said it was thickening of my breast tissue and that if it was any bigger they would have done a biopsy then I was told to go home and just keep an eye on it if it gets any bigger within the next 3 months then to go back for a biopsy, But if it don't then it's fine I asked if the lump would go down and was told that it would stay there now! I'm abit confused as I don't really no what it is? It was all abit rushed which is fine I uderstand they are busy but I don't really feel like it was explained very well ? I've also had abit of clear discharge from nipple and it's quite smelly since my appointment is that normal? 

  • Hello Mand2020

    I'm sorry to hear that you've been left with some concerns following your recent breast clinic appointment. 

    I'm unsure why you would have discharge from your nipple following the appointment but given that you've mentioned it's smelling then it would seem sensible to speak to your GP who will be able to follow this up for you. They would also have had a letter from the breast clinic following your appointment and will hopefully be able to help with your questions.

    Hi Mand,

    Welcome to our forum.

    I am sorry to hear that you felt so rushed at your appointment and that you didn't get a proper explanation of what they found at the breast clinic.

    I agree with Moderator Jenn. Contact your GP as soon as you can. Ask for an explanation of the clinic's findings and tell him/her about your nipple discharge. I am not medical, but I don't believe that this would be connected to your last appointment at all.

    Do please keep in touch and let us know how you get on. We are always here for you.

    Kind regards,

    Jolamine xx
