I've read the whole of this thread and it's been really informative and helpful. I went to see gp as my nipple felt wrong and sore like burning or itching for 3 weeks. She examined me and found 'lumpy areas' on the same breast and the area is sore (if you poke it!). I was referred to breast centre and had a mammogram yesterday. Unfortunately they are not doing it all on one day anymore and I will have to wait for another appointment within another 2 weeks for results. I feel such a drama queen for being so anxious. My friends have nearly all had scares and are OK and don't seem to have been so bothered. I'm still working though, I'm not that distressed, more a weight in my chest and stomach. I'm 53. Much love to those also still waiting (and those diagnosed).

Seem to have posted this not where I expected!
