A little worried: been referred to a breast clinic following a doctors visit 3 1/2 weeks ago

A have been referred to a breast clinic following a doctors visit 3 1/2 weeks ago. I woke up one morning with blood on my bed covers coming from one of my nipples. 3 1/2 weeks later Im still bleeding. I have gone from being initially worried to thinking it will be fine, back to worrying again following another significant bleed last night. 
I have now got an appointment next week, I’m scared of the outcome but relieved I’m finally going to see someone. 
Has anyone had this problem & had a good outcome? 

Thank you! 

  • Hello ACDC1976 and a warm welcome to our forum, 

    How frightening it must have been for you to wake up one morning with blood on your bed covers coming from one of your nipples and you did the right thing in mentioning this to your doctor. It won't be long now until you are seen at the breast clinic and it's definitely something that needs to be looked at but try not to worry too much if you can as there can be many reasons for your symptoms and the important thing is that it will all soon be investigated and you will get a diagnosis and treatment to stop the bleeding. 

    I thought I would also share with you the information Breast Cancer Now have on their website on what happens at a breast clinic appointment so that you can feel better prepared for your appointment. 

    I hope that you will also hear from others on here who have had this problem before and that they will share with you what the outcome was for them. 

    Wishing you the best of luck for your appointment next week - fingers crossed you get some definite answers and that it all turns out to be nothing of concern! 

    Best wishes,
