I went to my doctor today because I have found blood spots in my bra over the last month - my right breast - it bleeds when I don’t know about it, doesn’t bleed when I squeeze it - she has now referred me as an urgent case to the local hospital - I am so so scared…
Hi jlb664 and welcome to the BCC forums
I am posting a link to information about attending the breast clinic which you may find helpful, the page also includes our helpline number which you are welcome to call:

Hi,
Unfortunately I don’t know anything about this, but just wanted to let you know someone was listening, and hopefully bump your post up so someone else might see it.
You have done the right thing by going to the doctor and getting an appointment at the hospital. Once you know what it is something can be done about it.
Finger crossed that it is something benign.
J.
Thank you ![]()
Anyone able to comment? BUMP for jlb664.
i feel for you hun and know what your going through , take one day at a time ![]()
Again I can’t comment on your symptoms, but can send you a hug and say that going to the dr was the right thing to do, I hope you don’t have to much of a wait to find out your results. My only advice to you is take one day at a time, try not to think to far ahead with ’ what ifs '.
So one hug and lots of positive thoughts
Love Ruth xxx

Has anybody else had bleeding from one nipple???
I was called today to tell me I have an appointment at the clinic next Monday… I will - of course - go, but if they say I need further anything I tell you now, I am getting out of here - I don’t care now - I am just going to live my life and NEVER see a doctor again- cannot bear exposing myself and I will be fine just by myself - no probing, no pills - think I will look up a Las Vegas holiday and just go there…
I only saw this post tonight, and by now you will have gone back to the clinic.(I hope)
I hope that they found something unrelated to cancer and that you are OK. But if they do find something and offer you treatment, please come back and talk to people before deciding you will not go back again.
I remember thinking when I first got called back after a routine screening (and I have now been diagnosed with breast cancer) that I wouldn’t go. I reacted a bit like you. I thought I would withdraw all my savings, leave work, go one holiday. But then I thought that would be a bit premature, and if there was a chance I could be helped with treatment, it was better to find this out and to follow good advice. When I first posted on here, all I knew was that it was “bad news”. Someone told me I would feel more in control when I knew exacly what I was dealing with. And they were right. I am still scared. I still wish it hadn’t happened to me. But I think I made the right decision to go back and find out. As it is, I think I am quite lucky. I am still at the treatable stage. I have looked into the research and feel I am making an informed decision to have treatment which has been proven to be effective
Of course you could have gone back to the clinic and received results that were not as positive as mine. (And to be honest saying that now, when I know I have breast cancer seems like a weird thing to say. If you had asked me two weeks ago if I would have had any positive thoughts if told I had any sort of cancer I would have said dont be stupid) But people on here, even though I don’t know them, have sort of got me through. Far more than my partner as there always seems to be at least one person who knows exactly how I feel.
I guess all I would say, is if they find something, come back on here, or talk to the breast cancer nurses, before deciding to not go back. Probing, and pills might seem like a very invasive option now. But although I can’t say my experience so far has been 100% brilliant, in the main there seems to be some very caring committed people who will help you get throug this
