i had cc last year which was treated with radical hysterectomy and 6 weeks chemoradiation. Now a few months ago i found a lump in my breast which also when pressed leaked a sticky yellow fluid.As it was a sat i went to emergency clinic as i freaked out,a nurse examined me and said she didnt feel anything which made me feel stupid for making a fuss,i made her take a swab of the discharge and that was it, as i didnt hear back i put it to the back of my mind. as i had just had a baby when diagnosed with cc last year i convinced myself it might be hormonal. the other night i brushed against the lump which is now bigger and when i pressed it brown sticky stuff came from nipple, went to my GP who was extremely angry at fact i didnt go in sooner and with nurse that examined me, there is no record of swab results and he said lump is definately there and that he wasnt going to lie,he thinks its suspicious so now i have a nice new referral to the breast cancer clinic. help me im so scared,im so angry with myself for leaving it but i didnt think id be that unlucky,my partner had a bad accident a few months ago too and been in and out of hospital so was easy to put aside and not think about but now what happens? Ive had a lot of experience with cervical cancer but this is so new to me, are there any other cc cancer survivors that go on to get bc? im scared,im sick of being scared,i want to fight this and i think deepdown it is,how can it not be…please help
Hi Clr,
Maybe its something to do with the fact you’ve just had a baby, when I was dx I did not have any symptoms at all just an itch on my right breast that was persistant, nothing else, I never had any dishcharge or anything but you will find that everyones cancer is individual and everyone responds to treatment and has different symptoms.
My neighbour had just had her baby when she found a lump in her breast of course she freaked out partly because I’d just been dx so it was all a bit fresh, she went to the breast care clinic and found that it was a cyst in her milk duct, obviously as she had just had a baby her breasts were producing milk, that was all it was a cyst which they can drain, I’m sure thats what you have got.
As far as CC and BC and a link I’m not sure I did have a colposcopy about 10 years ago for pre-cancerous cells in my cervics, so not sure if there is a link maybe worth googling that one.
Its hard I know cause all us on here have been through exactly what your going through at the moment but you will feel better once you have results good or bad at least thats what I found once I knew what I was dealing with it was a case of right lets get a treatment plan into action and get on with fighting it. Try not to worry too much, and remember we are all here for you if you need any support any time just PM (private message) me.
Sending love and light

Hi Sarahlouise and thanks for getting back to me. I hope its to do with that but on other hand feel like in clinging onto any reason as he’s nearly 2 now. Im the same as you when i was told about the cc, it was a relief then i could get on with dealing with it, just hate the waiting and how your mood swings from trying to be optimistic to thinking,i have it,i must have it. I think the doctors reaction freaked me out too tbh but he knows me well enough to not bulls**t me which id rather have…im going to concentrate on not thinking about till i get my app
thanks for taking the time to reassure me
