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.

    Hi All

    Its been a while but i just wanted to ask a few questions. After a lot of tests and back and forth to the consultant they have not managed to pin down the cause of the fluid leaking form my left nipple and the fact that it contains red blood cells means they are np prepared to leave it. I have got to have an operation to removed part of my milk ducts for testing. Has anybody had this done. What was it like and did it take long to recover. Very nervouse to say the least.

    Hi Lisa,

    I am so sorry to hear that you are still unsure about your discharge.  By the sound of things your consultant is leaving no stone unturned which has to be good news for you.

    I haven't had just milk ducts removed. Mine was a double mastectomy. I found that a lot easier than I expected, so expect that removal of some milk ducts should be a breeze..

    Have you got a date for your surgery yet? I hope that it all goes well.

    Kind Regards,

    Jolamine xx
