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!

  • Hi ACDC 1976,

    A very warm welcome to the forum,

    I am sorry to hear about your symptoms and understand the worry that this is causing you.

    You have done the right thing by getting this investigated. I am glad to see that you have an appointment at the breast clinic this coming week and hope that they can put your mind to rest.

    As to your question about outcome, it is impossible to predict what this will be. As our moderator Lucie, has said "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." You will probably have some tests when you are at the breast clinic and these will determine what the cause is. Obviously, the outcome is also dependent on the cause.

    I sincerely hope that all turns out well next week and that it won't take long to find the cause.

    Please keep in touch and let us know how you get on.

    We are always here for you.

    Kind regards,

  • Thank you for your reassurance, not long to wait now, I’m trying to stay positive. I haven’t told anyone except my husband so nice to be able to get my anxiety out on this forum.

  • Hi ACDC1976,

    I'm glad that you've found this forum. Unless friends and relatives have already been touched by cancer, many don't know what to say or how to reassure you. All of the people on this forum have experience of cancer and it is a great place to get information, advice and support from people who really appreciate how you feel.

    Have you had your appointment yet, or is it later in the week? Don't forget to let us know how you get on. I've got everything crossed for a good outcome. 

    Kind trgards,
