Breast clinic on Tuesday

Hi everyone it's my first time posting. 

So I went to the GP last week about skin changes on my breast. It's really dry and scaly, and I have nipple discharge. They've referred me to the breast clinic and I have my appointment on Tuesday. What's likely to happen whilst I'm there? Do they always do a biopsy? I'm absolutely worried sick that it's cancer. How do people cope before their appointment? Thank you

    Hi El ,brilliant that your appointment is on Tuesday . You are bound to worry but everyone there is very friendly and helpful.I had an inverted nipple and some hardening in my left breast last year . Went to Gp and had a referral pretty quickly. Had mammogram , biopsy and saw consultant and breast nurse there and then . Mine was breast cancer and I had my op last September , followed by chemo . Everything went well and I am back to normal . I kept myself busy , socialised with friends and family . Talked about it too . Good luck and let us know how things go ,it might be ok,positive vibes xx
