Worried about lump & leakage

Hey there first time posting so hope everybody is doing ok considering the current situation.

I’m looking for a little advice or reassurance really, Iv found a lump pretty much half under my nipple & half at side with pain and tenderness under the arm. Also on the opposite side I have been having random spells of leakage clear, not a lot and seems pretty random. 

Plus the big concern is I’m the last remaining female on my mums side not to have had any cancer.

my aunts had it very bad 2 years ago & double M then last year my cousin, her daughter got it at stage 3 and she’s still struggling.

then Xmas my mum told me she has to have a single M as she is at the very early stages. It wasn’t a case of if but when she was told. Her team also told her it looked genetic as so many in the family have got it or had & it’s getting younger in at diagnosis as it goes. 

My male cousin from my mums brother is now being investigated too. I’m scared stiff mums team said I’m high risk & now this!

iv struggled with the news for a while and then covid happened. so Iv not wanted to go to the hospital as they have enough on.

Spoke to gp just & she has advise I go to see them tomorrow.

thanks any advise or experiences appreciated x

 

  • Hi

    As hard as it must be to find a lump and with all the obvious worry about previous members of your family ,  the only advice I can offer is go to the hospital. Yes, it will be hard and upsetting, but your mind will be working overtime with the what ifs and maybes...at least seeing someone will ease what youre experiencing...

  • Hi marky 

    Thank you for replying, I have had a chat last night with the GP and my regular DR called this morning they have been really kind, fantastic tbh really put me at ease. 

    Mum going on Monday for her to see me in person & she’s then going to send me over to the rapid access clinic so fingers crossed it’s just something and nothing. She did say though which I knew in the back of my mind I will have to have that conversation now anyway about the future given everything in the family so thank you for responding I appreciate that it’s such a big thing, nice to find this site and all the information and posters like yourself.

    will update on my news for others in that situation.

    take care & thanks again :)
