Hi, 

This forum is great for advice.

I had this when I first started out..the doctor prescribed antibiotics thinking I had mastitis and left me a week.

He then referred me to the breast clinic. I had all the scan and tests on a lump in the right side of my breath when I initially went to doctors with nipple pain...these test came back negative. Over christmas just gone I got the pain in my nipple back and only went to doctors with a chest infection but he referred me again.

This time they tested the nipple and it came back as dcis and cancer in the lower part of my right boob.

Awaiting a date for mastectomy in the next 2 weeks.

If you are really concerned I would go back to the doctors and ask him to refer you...you know your own body... I knew something was wrong x

You are really young...I'm classed as young and I'm nearly 40 obviously I dont know your family history x

I just wanted to reach out to you and tell you that you are not alone on this site xx

Thank you so much for this reply, I'm debating whether or not to ring gp back up as the lumps have already been there 2 weeks, surely if they haven't gone now then 2 weeks isn't much difference but I don't know, I think I'll leave it till next week and trying not to check as much so I don't get any more paranoid than I am already

Sounds like a good idea x try not to worry too much yourself...I know it's hard x 

The breast clinics are brilliant and a real one stop shop everything done in one day x 

Please keep in touch and let me know how you get on if you go to the top and follow this discussion I will get an email if you reply xx

Sorry did you find out the same day at the breast clinic that is was cancer or did you have to wait? I hope you best recovery from your mastectomy x 

Hi,

No I went and was examined by a consultant, then sent for ultrasound and biopsies. Waited 2 weeks for the results. My negative ones come through the post but got a letter to attend clinic when I was diagnosed with dcis.

I then had to have mammogram and mri which came back inconclusive so waited another week for more ultrasounds and biopsies and a 2 week wait for results and consultant to decide on treatment.

All in all I was diagnosed on the 10th of february with dcis and hope to have mastectomy in the next 2 weeks so altogether about 3 months from start to finish x

Hiya they are ringing me on Tuesday to refer me to breast clinic 

Hi Jess how are you getting on at the moment? Have you been given an appointment? 
 

Im 23 and in a similar situation. My right breast has always been quite lumpy round the nipple area, much more so than my left one. Last Monday I found a small pea sized lump under my right nipple. I can move it side to side but It seems like it's attached to tissue on the bottom. I'm absolutely terrified! I've got an appointment at the breast clinic next Thursday but I'm so anxious now. I've noticed an aching pain has started in my armpit yesterday too. 

Waiting for a call either today or tomorrow from the clinic to get an appointment date if not i have to ring them to make one, lump still there I keep checking everyday...hope your appointment goes well x 

Hope it goes well for you too - it's such a scary feeling xx
