oh dear, I realy sympathise. Now you have all the weekend to worry about this.
well the long and the short of it is that even if things turn out to be ok, they do need checking. when you get to the doctor on Monday dont be put off, say a doctor at the hospital said to get a referal and that is what you want.
There are all sorts of reasons for changes in the breast, and so many people who go to the breast clinic find that the changes are normal. but if you are one of the small minority that need treatment the earlier the start the better.
So well done, you have got your appointment. In the meantime its only natural that your mind wanders over the possiibities, so do pop on this site and ask questions, or just tell everyone how you are feeling. everyone remembers what it was like at the begining. and if it turns out that in a few weeks you come back on to say that you had good news and it was nothing then that cheers everybody up. There were two ladies on here yesterday saying good bye to the forum because they were ok–made my day
my initial appointment at the breast clinic was because of an inverted nipple , it turned out to be nothing more than hormonal , sadly they found a tumour growing about 3" above it , but totally unconnected to nipple inversion , try not to worry to much and be aware that even if there is anything going wrong , you will be in the best possible hands , good luck xxx
