Bloody discharge and lump

My story so far - had bleeding from the nipple. Went to breast clinic they found a lump near my nipple. Consultant says poss intraductal papilloma, poss malignancy. Mammogram, ultrasound and needle biopsy all 'equivocal/inconclusive'. Also had a contrast MRI (what a horrific experience!) No results yet from that. Booked for excision biopsy and milk duct removal next Friday (regardless of MRI results). Its all happened so quickly. Baffles me they they cannot tell me either way yet in spite of all the tests. Scared about the op, cautiously optimistic that it's benign, but also having nagging thoughts that this chain of events is going too quickly and perhaps signals something worse. Anyone been through this and have any thoughts/stories to share with me?

  • Hi, I had milk ducts removed a couple of days ago due to inverted bleeding nipple. I was the same everything moved very quickly but I think that's partly because the breast clinic seemed so efficient. I hope you have the same experience as me, as all the staff were so caring and compationate. I'm only 2 days after surgery and the recovery was a lot better than I thought and not as painful as I'd imagined it would be. Wishing you good luck and a speedy recovery.

  • Thank you so much for sharing your positive post op experience @postopp its very comforting. Do you have a diagnosis yet? Wishing you all the best with your recovery
