Breast cancer / Pagets

Hi is anyone else going through a cancer scare that relates to one nipple? I have three weeks to wait for the breast clinic and trying my hardest to keep busy and not panic but it’s incredibly difficult. 
it started three weeks ago with itching on one nipple and I didn’t think much of it. After three weeks I went to the GP as noticed it was a bit red. When she looked at it she said it was very angry and prescribed steroids which haven’t touched it, anti fungal cream - hasn’t touched it and antibiotics - hasn’t touched it. It’s red raw and appears to be the milk ducts but now getting prickling through the rest of the breast.

Not sure what I’m really asking to be honest but hoping to keep calm and talk to other people having similar problems 

Thanks

  • Hello Bubbles76, 

    You've come to the right place to talk to others who have had similar issues before affecting one nipple and I hope that you will from their stories and experiences. The long wait for the breast clinic appointment is going to be difficult as many of our members will have also experienced the anxiety that often goes alongside what can feel like an endless wait. It's incredibly difficult to keep busy and to stay well away from Google during this time but you are doing the right thing in trying your best not to panic. I thought I would share with you these helpful tips to help you cope while waiting for news. 

    You did well to go and see your GP when you noticed something unusual and I am keeping everything crossed for you that it all turns out to be nothing of concern. 

    I will now let our other ladies who have been through this before come and say hello and share their story with you. 

    Best wishes,
