Ageing breast skin

Hi all I have been seen by the breast specialist and all ok I was so concerned about I b c as had terrible pain and discoloration on both breasts everything ok but nothing was mentioned about the colouring it had got steadily worse like Tiny veins showing through I'm 53  so could be part of aging i went back to the doctors and to an open women's day at my doctors as I am still in pain as well. The doctor was terrible more or less dismissed me as being a hypochondriac and said you've been told nothing so that's it. I tried to say I was still concerned and would like to know what this is but nothing.I left so upset. I'm sorry if this isn't the right place to post but you were so kind before I went to the breast specialist i thought I'd pick your brains again just wondered if anyone else has anything similer. I have full faith in the nhs and don't want to be a nuisance but I wish some one would say it's this and the pain is due to ...I am fit and well other than this but it's starting to take a toll on me now iv been at this for five months.My friend suggested e hormones with the veins showing on both breasts but I darent go back to my doctor 

  • I'm sorry for the situation you find yourself at the moment Ccp.

    If you're not happy with your doctor maybe you could try seeing a different one (if this option is available to you) for a second opinion? We have many ladies posting about breast issues on the forum so I have no doubt one of them will pick up on your post soon and share their advice and experiences with you.

    Our cancer nurses will be back in the office from Tuesday onwards so if you'd like to have a quick chat with them about this next week you're more than welcome to do so. The number to call is 0808 800 4040 and their phone lines will be open between 9a.m - 5p.m.

    I hope you're able to get answers and peace of mind about this soon Ccp.

    All the best,
