    Hi Woolylamb,

    It is great to hear from you and, to learn that you have finished all of your treatment. It is even better news that you have been given the all clear.

    What a hard year you've had. Let's hope that you can put that behind you and, move forward from here. I hope that your return to work turns out well. This is one time when the current pandemic is doing you a favour. It should be easier to start work from home, before you have to add travel, etc to your day.

    Kind regards,

  • Hi, I'm so sorry for the delayed response. So 11 months ago I was told the lump I found was nothing to worry about just breast tissue. So I moved on happy with the result, however over the last few weeks I've had some clear/white discharge from that same breast but only that breast. There's some spots as well but not like normal spots just red enlarged pores, and my breast is also really tender. I've been back to the doctors who have referred me to the breast clinic again. They have booked me in for a telephone appointment on Monday. Not going to lie I'm freaking out, I'm so scared that something was missed and this issue has been getting worse over the last 11 months. Fingers crossed it's a coincidental new issue in the same breast but I'm not feeling to optimistic.

    Hi Kmj,

     

    Having had 2 bouts of breast cancer myself within a year and, in the same breast, I know just how worried you'll feel right now. I hope that your telephone consultation on Monday goes well and, that nothing untoward is found.

     

    This is always a worrying time, but it is particularly so with the current pandemic. Do please let us know how you get on. As you already  know we are always here for you.  

     

    Kind regards,
