Symptoms other than lumps, puckering etc.

Hi all, I’m not from the UK I’m from rep. Of Ireland, I hope that’s OK. I posted on the Irish breast cancer forum but have not had any response it’s a bit quite than here.So.i am awaiting a triple assessment next week, mammogram, ultrasound and biopsy if necessary. I found a lump behind my right nipple-not outside the skin of you know what I mean. And nipple is retracted. I just wanted to ask if there are other symptoms from the usual ones you see online. I.e lumps, nipple retraction, discharge etc. Like tiredness, back pain any thing like that? Thank you,

hi Jane,

It’s not really possible to say, as anxiety when waiting for appointments will produce these symptoms anyway.

Certainly many here, if recently diagnosed, do report symptoms you describe, but it’s normally due to stress & tension & not anything more sinister than that.

Anyway, you’ve done all you need to for now & although it is so stressful to go through, at least it will be sorted out at the appointment. It can help with thw wait, to keep busy & avoid googling as it only makes anxiety worse for no good reason.

Let us know how you get on.
