Hello and thanks for posting on the forum,

I am sorry to hear about your situation.  I can understand that it can be very unsettling waiting to find out what is going on.

We are not able to tell anyone what is the matter. I am afraid I cannot say what could be causing your symptoms.  At the breast clinic you will see a breast specialist or a specialist nurse who will examine you.  You will have an ultrasound and possibly a mammogram.  A needle biopsy is usually suggested if the scan shows changes in the breast that the doctors are not sure about.  This does not mean that anything is particularly wrong but the biopsy will confirm this.

Many women visiting a breast clinic are found not to have cancer.  There are many different breast conditions that can occur.  There is some information about visiting a breast clinic written by the charity Breast Cancer Care which you can look at here

I know that it is difficult waiting, but unfortunately, only until you have been seen at the clinic and your symptoms have been investigated, will they know what is going on.

I do hope that this has helped.  You are very welcome to give us a ring to talk this through. The number to call is Freephone 0808 800 4040 and the lines are open from 9am till 5pm Monday to Friday.

Best Wishes,

Catherine
