Breast issues

13 years ago I jammed  by nipple on the outside door causing severe trauma had it checked at the hospital due to this and leaking from it its always kind of bothered me was told by consultant I would have leaks the rest of my life about three months ago I attend my Doctor due to a lot of leeks happening  she squeezed  my left breast really hard it was really sore the weeks later I found a lump on the upper inner near the aerola I wentvto see her 4 times and she examined me and said I was fine she couldn't  feel anything but I can still feel this by lightly running fingers over it its also a bit larger than my right and can be a bit uncomfortable  I spoke to her today and told her I still feel this but only since she squeezed it she said once again I checked it on different occasions and everything is OK but I've once again to see her on Thursday 

  • Hi Orchaid,

    Welcome to Cancer Chat. It's good to hear you have another appointment booked for this. Try to make the most of this and feel it yourself while you are at the appointment, and hopefully the doctor will be able to also.

    If you don't feel you're getting the necessary support or answers from your doctor then you can always ask to see a different doctor next time.

    Wishing you all the best and I hope it goes OK today,

  • Hi Ben went today I told her where it was and yes she felt and do did I I was screaming in pain when she was squeezing it she thinks I might have an infection she told me cancer isn't sore to touch she was going to give me antibiotics and also refer me but I can't really take medications as I'm allergic to artificial preservatives colour and flavouring I've been on antihistamine from hospital for years  Bensonate and Metalsulphate are the worst ones anyway I asked her why in October when I was at her did she not feel it as my husband and I did you don't need to press to feel it she said I didn't mention a lump but I did  I have  a brilliant memory and that was 4 times I went to get checked   all the examining she's done recent I'm sure has irritated and feels swollen and extreamly sore   the leak I had seemly was in March I never had a lump then I don't know if she's irritated something but she was getting in touch with the breast clinic today for an urgent app she knows exactly what I'm like  and the other thing I was a pharmacist so I know a lot about medications  it was a really bad accident I had 13 years ago and I've always had problems there I check myself often so I hope she is right  cheers Ann
