Breast Cancer , very scared waiting for referral

Hi Everyone,

I am very new to this and also very scared. I have noticed on the lower side of my left breast there are 2 patches where it looks like my breast is being pulled inwards. If i stand with my arm above my head it is very noticable and it never used to look like this. My nipple on this side also leaks at times and quiet often feels sticky. I got my husband to have a look to check i wasnt imagining it and he spotted it straight away.

I went to the doctors yesterday and she also spotted it straight away. She has refrered me to the breast clinic on the 2 week wait system and all she could say was try not to worry but she doesnt have xray vision which i understand.

I am so scared has anyone else had this kind of systems and it urned ot to all be fine.

    I know how you feel, had a mammogram, scan, and biopsies taken last week. Get my results on the 10th May. Not knowing the results is horrible. Best wishes

    Hi,

    I am so sorry to read that you are waiting for the results of your tests. This is always a scary time. I have had two bouts of breast cancer. The first was 8 years ago and the second was 7.

    Try to keep yourself as busy as you can to help to pass the time while you are waiting. Also try to avoid consulting 'Dr Google', as you will only end up scaring yourself out of your wits for no apparant reason.

    Please keep in touch and let us know how your results are.

    We are always here for you.

    Kind regards,

    Hi all,

     

    I just thought i would drop you all a line ans say how things are going. I went to see the consultant last thursday expecting to be given but the all clear but that didnt happen. My scan came back all clear but the consultant is still worried about the red blood cells in the fluid leaking for my nipple. She sent me for another examination, blood test and another slide fof the fluid. I have to go back in 6 weeks to discuss if i have to have surgery to test my milk ducts.

    Hi Lisa,

    I am so sorry to hear that you still haven't had the all clear and that you are now waiting on the results of more tests.  I hope that you are going to get these results before you have to see the consultant again in 6 weeks, as you have had a lot of waiting around for results.

    Here's hoping that these tests at least give you an answer.

    Kind regards,

    Jolamine xx
