Reassurance?!

Hi. 
I am 29 years old, family history of breast cancer. I was on a contraceptive pill for approx 8-10 years in total. Recently I noticed a heavy feeling in right breast, significantly uneven to the left. Milky/clear discharge has began to come from the nipple. I made a GP appointment and a lump was found in the upper/outer side of the breast, with a feeling of thickening of tissue underneath the breast. An appointment was made with the consultant surgeon the same day for this coming Thursday. Has anyone experienced something remotely close and what was the outcome? I am so anxious! I know it's unlikely the big C but there is that niggling doubt.

  • Hi! 
    So the ultrasound showed nothing significant so I'm assuming the lump/thickening is just tissue and normal

    for me however the doctor would like to see me again in 6 months for a second ultrasound and examination with himself. Relieved but anxious at the same time! I'm pleased to know that they are being thorough and cautious. Praise our NHS x
