Hi, i think I’m just after some support & reassurance.
I’ve had problems with my left breast for years. I’ve had cysts, pain and hormonal lumps.
I had a hysterectomy in 2021 and the lumpiness went. Prior to my hysterectomy I was on Prostap injections for about a year and took Tibilone. The Tibilone was restarted a few weeks after my hysterectomy.
Before I had my hysterectomy I was at the breast clinic for a lump and pain in my left breast. He told me to take evening primrose oil.
Fast forward to last week. I had some nipple discharge from my left breast and GP has referred me on a 2 week wait. Since I saw GP I have noticed my breast has changed shape and I have also found a pea sized lump and I am so scared it is cancer this time. The pain is also still there.
I have had about 5 previous referrals on a 2ww but I’m so worried that this time it may be cancer.

It’s understandable you are feeling worried after noticing your most recent breast changes. We know finding a breast change and waiting to be seen at the breast clinic can be a very anxious time. As you’ve been to the breast clinic previously you will know what to expect but our information may be of some help.
As @Shi says its good you have had these changes checked by your GP. As you are aware most breast changes are caused by benign (not cancer) conditions but it’s important to be sure and be fully assessed at the clinic. Hopefully you don’t have a long wait for your appointment and to get some answers.
