Hi, I’m posting this in this category too as I’m not sure how this works, but for context I am 23, loads of breast cancer history in my family and I’ve had a growing lump for two years.
It took a year for me to finally have a biopsy, after many different doctors either telling me that I had a lump that definitely needed to be removed, or that there was no lump even there. Madness!
My symptoms have been bloody nipple discharge, a lump and I am in consistent pain all in my left breast every day of the month and have been for months.
After a year of being referred so many times and feeling like I was being made out to sound insane and naive, they finally did a biopsy. The results came back benign fibroadenoma (they sent a letter that I didn’t receive) and they discharged me.
However, they didn’t use the ultrasound to scan for the nipple discharge or the rest of my breast they only scanned the lump. So I have no answers to what is causing that, and their attitude was if it’s bothering me that much to just get re-referred. And they have said they won’t remove the lump as it’s not big enough, even though I am in absolute agony with it.
Where do I even go from here?
