my 18yr old daughter has just been to the gp today as she has an inflamed and sore nipple with a discharge and bleeding.

we saw another gp a few weeks ago and he gave her antibiotic cream which didnt clear it up, but GP today said she thinks its maybe padgets disease.

i had heard of it but didnt know what it was until i looked on here and found out its a rare type of breast cancer… Hannah is coping really well but my parents are falling apart and im still in a state of shock.

shes waiting for the referral to the breast clinic.

im brca2 but hannahs not been tested yet, but my mum and sis are waiting for their gene results in the next week or two.

Oh how awful for you…I hope Hannah will be told all is well soon. Totally sympathise as I too have a daughter and we have strong family history although I’m not BRCA carrier. Take Care Lulu…xxx

Oh Lulu, this disease is really shit. I do hope your daughter’s GP is wrong. I can only imagine how you’re feeling but I bet it involves taking on all her worry and pain yourself. I know that’s how I felt when my Mum was diagnosed. Little did I know I would be in the same position less than a year later.

It won’t feel like much consolation now but my Mum has been a great support to me. She knew what I was going through and I didn’t feel I needed to hide things from her. If it is bad news I’m sure your daughter will appreciate the kind of support only you can give her.

So sorry to hear this, Lulu. I hope your daughter gets a quick appointment and it turns out to be nothing serious and just the GP being extra cautious.

Hi Lulu
Sorry to hear of this new worry for you and your family. You were one of the 1st people to answer my 1st post a month ago and sounded so positive. I hope the GP is wrong and will keep everything crossed for you and your daughter. xx

Sorry to hear your news. I’m actually quite disgusted at your gp for saying this to you-referring your daughter on for further investigations would have been quite adequate. Instead (s)he has planted a huge worry in your minds-and one which I hope will be unfounded.

Hi Lulu,
Couldn’t belive when i looked in what has happened to you and Hannah, it must be a big shock, it’s only natural to look at the worst but i hope and pray like everyone else has said! it turns out okay, i know the fact you have this gene must be a big worry for you too. It’s good to know your family are supportive and everyone on here will be supporting and rooting for you too.
Lots of love will keep fingers crossed for you both.
