Nipple Discharge

Stxoxo

Hi, I'm 26 years old and have experienced discharge from one nipple on and off for about 2 years. I first went to the doctors and was given antibiotics which did help for a period of time however within the past few weeks the nipple discharge is now blood. I went to the doctors 2 weeks ago and was advised I would be referred to a clinic for further assessment. Has anyone else experienced a bleeding nipple? 
Also, I've not had my appointment letter yet and I feel so anxious and worried. How long is the usual wait for an appointment letter?

Thanks in advance.

    Hello Stxoxo, 

    Welcome to Cancer Chat! You did the right thing to go to the doctor's to get this nipple discharge looked at and I hope you won't need to wait too long to be seen at the clinic for this further assessment. Hopefully you will meet others here who have had similar symptoms and they will be along shortly to share their experience with you. 

    It might be a good idea to give them a call if you are worried about the appointment letter and chase it with them - they will be able to tell you more about it and give you an estimate as to how long you might have to wait. 

    Best wishes,
