Bloody discharge and lump

gladtoseethebackof2021

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?

    I'm sorry to hear that you have problems with your breast, the breast services are really good at getting on with treatment which is much nicer than ending up on a long, long list, and worrying about the outcome. Being on a shorter list has its advantages less time to become anxious although it's hard not to worry, try to talk to others and keep busy. Some specialists have huge lists, The breast surgeons are really good and leave small scars, often around the nipple. I've had duct papilloma, leaking nipples, they felt like a piece of wire, and were quite inflamed  my problems started after breast feeding fortunately following excision and biopsies they were not malignant . lm hoping you have the same outcome. The breast clinic are great and I have a open access appointment enabling me to see them when l need to.

    take care
