Blood discharge and soreness

Hi guys

I am due to have the triple test on Tuesday and thought I’d come here for abit of advice but I can’t find anyone who shares my exact concerns (this may be an unreasonable thing to expect but it seems as tho everyone is bonding over shared experiences and I would be very curious to know if anyone has had what I have). I have not found a lump and can see no visible changes to my breasts but i do have other causes for concern. I should mention that I’m 25 and have quite large breasts so may be reason for not being able to self detect a lump of any kind.

I was hoping that if I list my symptoms somebody might be able to tell me if they have experienced anything similar. It would also be very interesting to hear from people who haven’t/ didn’t find a lump and haven’t experienced the more common signs of BC.

I have the following symptoms:

Sore breasts. The right is most painful.
Bleeding from right nipple that first occurred in the shower (pure blood).
Pain in both armpits
Pain to left side of groin
Chills at night time

Would love to hear from anybody with a story to share! Thanks Xxx

Hi Jen and welcome to BCC forums.

I didn’t experience anything other than a discomfort under my arm. I have, however, experienced sore breasts for years,prior to my periods.

The nipple discharge, I had in 2004, which was placed as an infection which contained blood, (although I do think that that was the start of my problems, eight years later, here I am)

What I will say is this, your age is not a risk factor for BC, that said, it is not unknown for women in their 20’s to be diagnosed.

All of your concerns are justified, and hopefully someone will come along who experienced similar symptoms and be able to assist you.

Best of luck on Tuesday, and if before then, you call the helpline, they are excellent at spending time with you, and helping to allay your concerns.
