Hello and welcome to the forum where you will get loads of help and support from the wonderful ladies on here.
The usual procedure is a mammogram/ultrasound and if necessary a biopsy. If it is a one stop clinic then I think you could find out on the day. With mine I had mammo and ultrasound from which they took biopsies which they then sent off to the lab and I returned the week later to get my results.
This is the worst time waiting to find out what is happening but you will get through it, we are all here to help you so come on here whenever you need to and there will always be someone to support you.
Sending you a hug

Hi m19,
Well, it’s good you’ve acted on this & got an appointment, so you’ve done all you need to do.
There’s no magic wand in dealing with the inevitable anxiety that goes with this, but mostly there is a benign reason for the symptoms you describe.
They aim to give you an answer on the day.
What will happen is, you will see the dr who will examine you, you may well have an ultrasound examination & if its clear its not bc, you will be told then.
If its not clear what it is, then you may have a mammogram & / or biopsy, but even if this happens it is not necessarily bc, they are just getting to the bottom of what it is.
Whilst waiting, it helps to distract yourself, carry on as normal & avoid googling as this can only create a whole load of anxiety which changes nothing.
If you want to, let us know how you get on, for the vast majority of women here it turns out Not to be bc.

Thank you for your reassuring comments.
Thank you.
Hi m19hlp
I had similar …bleeding from right nipple since April…only went to GP on 30th June…immediate referral to Hospital …had mammogram on 12th July, saw Consultant on 27th for results of mammo…turned out to be a benign Pappilloma. But Consultant said it has to be removed and biopsied to confirm diagnosis. I am waiting for date for op…slight problem with lung function, so waiting for Lung Function Test. Hopefully the op will be soon after that. I am not too concerned because Consultant was very confident. Btw, I am 73 years old. How old are you? I hope this is of some consolation to you. I believe nipple discharge is very rrarely a sign of cancer,
Hope all goes well for you. I was panicking as well. So I can well imagine how you feel. This Forum is a great place to offline ad your worries and get great support
love and best wishes xx
I’m 48. I did read about that so fingers crossed that is all it is

Hello m19hip,
I had the same as you 14 years ago and it turned out that it was blocked milk ducts. I did have an op to have them removed, but it was a benign condition. Just thought I’d let you know to reassure you xx
Had appointment today, mammogram and ultrasound which shows ducts ecstasia with debris in another duct. I am having a microdochectomy, breast care nurse is phoning on Monday to confirm appointment as they said it is benign but only doing the surgery will confirm 100%.
So happy for you …hope you get your op date soon. I’m still waiting for mine. You can sleep well tonight.xxxx
Thank You Feather1944
Saw surgeon today she couldn’t do before 28th September and she said it’s too risky to do because of flying and infection so close to holiday so she said go on holiday come back and have it done so she booked me in for the surgery the Thursday after we get back 26th October
I was wondering about you…glad you are having op on 26th Sept. Although our symptoms
our somewhat similar, our diagnosis seems different, prob due to age difference.
There is a slight hurdle…I failed my lung function test and I have to redo that before they give me a date for the op and biopsy. I am still having the discharge and have to use a tissue in my bra.
Hope all goes well and enjoy your holiday xx
Jen,
so do you have another totally separate breast problem now ? Xx
Hi Thank You. Hope your lung function is sorted soon…x
Did you have all the ducts removes or just single?
On Nov 3, 2016, I was told I will not be getting a kidney transplant because I have blood circulation problems. I live in the US.
In my 20’s , I developed venous statis in which the capillaries pop and my skin darkens on both my legs below my knees and above my ankles.
I have a inherited kidney disease as FSGS and minimal change , two kidney disorders. I was diagnosed in 1985. At that time, there was no treatment for me because my blood was normal but I had proteinuria alot of it.
My kidney disease didn’t really getbad until 2006, then I was referred to a kidney doctor. He prescribed predisone. It didn’t work on me. It was supposed to slow down the disease. But my problems befan to appear in 2012, when I started to gain weight, I thought at the time I was eating too much, but I later discovered it was excess water. Because later that year, my legs started to leak water. I actually had to squeeze the water out of my socks and trousers. Then I developed claudication which causes pain on my calf muscles in the back of my legs. I would walk a few steps and they would seize up. I would rest a few moments and the pain would go away. Then walk a few more steps and again experience pain.
Then in February 2014, my kidneys finally failed and I was put on haemodialysis. Then I lost circulation in my toes, then gangrene then amputations in May 2014 on my left foot then my left leg below the knee in June 2014Then my big toe on my right leg, on October 2014, and theno the rest of my toes in Nov 2014.
By July 2014, I lost 40 liters of of water or 88 pounds of water through haemodialysis.
I thought since I had 20 other medical problems besides my 2 kidney disorders that I wouldn’t qualify for a kidney transplant. Plus I have 47 chromosomes.
But at least, I now know, I won’t be getting a kidney.Unless someone invents a cure for poor blood circulation.
Not every one who has a chronic kidney disorder will have the kind of problems I have had.
