I was sent to the breast clinic today as a referral from the urgent care doctor due and was completely dismissed and made to feel a fool and wasting time. Before I had even had a chance to speak I was told I was too young to have anything seriously wrong with me. I'm 29 and I know it's rare he's but this is not unheard of! Honestly the attitude of this consultant absolutely blew me away. How can you tell someone they don't have cancer when you haven't even examined them or let them speak.
I was examined in a tender area but did not have a chance to explain other symptoms such as nipple changes and discharge. The consultant said he's certain it's nothing serious and he will get them to scan the tender area. The scan was done on one breast only and only in the tender area where she said it was normal tissue, the rest was left out where the lumps are. My lymph nodes have been up and hard for the past 5 weeks and I asked the radiologist to check and she said she couldn't find them and then said oh they are deep under the skin. Before I could ask any questions I was given a leaflet and she left the room and told me to go home.
I feel so confused and left with so many questions. I was expecting so much more from this appointment.
