Hi everyone I’m so pleased I’ve found this place I feel a little better already. A little bit of background for you all. I went to my GP 3 weeks ago as I had a bloody discharge from my right nipple and she referred me to the breast clinic. I had my appointment on Wednesday and I’ve had mammograms and ultra sound but they couldn’t find anything so the consultant has decided its best he takes out the affected milk duct and runs some tests on it. The surgery is booked for 26th April. I feel very very emotional at the moment and just get times where all I do is cry. I suppose I feel helpless and just don’t know what to do - nothing I can do really but wait for the surgery and see what happens. He has suggested its either a papilloma or dcis so until its out and tested we just don’t know.
Thank you for reading my story.
Hi Highlander
Sorry to read you feel so anxiuos. I’m just back from hospital myself after MX / ANC. The waiting for results is a very tense time where you feel life is put on hold.
May I ask if you’re in the area as your username suggests? If yes, pm me, we might share the same hospital / consultant.
Hugs,
Christine xx

Hi pcaz
Of course you can pm me I will try and explain what tests I’ve had so far and I’m happy if my post has helped you in some way.
Having done research I can tell you there are alot of ok things that can be causing it even the consultant listed 5 before any tests and none of them were really bad but there is of course the possibility and we always focus on the worst case.
Your appointment is the day before my operation. Please contact me and I will try and help in anyway I can even if its only support and someone to let of steam at.
Why am I so scared of the surgery? I’m being a complete baby today, can’t stop crying and feel a complete mess. What am I going to be like this time next week the day before the surgery. I just want it all over and done with.
Most of you have been through/are going through a lot worse than me and I feel really selfish and silly.
I’m sorry I’m a wreck today.
Highlander I find once in hospital I feel calmer than at home as things suddenly happen and at home I just imagine things and generally worse than necessary.
Hugs and strength,

Thank you Christine I’m hoping the same just hope I don’t have to wait too long to get taken down for the op. The way I feel at the moment I’m scared I’ll run away and I must have the operation
