Uninterested breast clinic Dr help ?

Well I feel like my appointment was a joke :frowning: the dr prodded both breasts a couple of times, and said there was nothing wrong, He also the lumps on my ribs are not there ! (the nurse at my GP’s spotted them when I told her I had pain in that area. As she did a proper breast exam)

 

He told me that any discharge was from the mastitis I had in the past, which was 8 years ago :confused: ( I breastfed another child for two years with no problems between them and now ?) and the rash from my bra rubbing (never has before and its fitted properly)

 

He said I need an ultra sound but there was no one to scan me today so I would have to wait for an appointment  at my local hospital.

 

He was not interested that I’m in a lot of pain, witch is making sleeping impossible. And when I said I had lost my appetite he just said that happens as you get older, I’m 31! My mum asked why I needed an ultra sound if there was nothing wrong and he just looked at us blankly and said it will be in a little time and they will look at the address and send you to Hartlepool. I was still to shocked from the lack of a proper exam to ask any thing.

 

Although friendly he seemed to be totally uninterested, should I go back to my GP or just wait for the ultrasound? I don’t feel reassured at all. I think I was in shock at the time but now I cannot stop crying :frowning: I feel like I’m back a square one in the waiting game.

Hi

 

I’m so sorry you have not been reassured by the doctor. I would not have been either in the circumstances. 

 

Perhaps you could go back to your gp and discuss whether this is the usual approach at the breast clinic. Where I am they would normally do mammogram and ultrasound then possibly a biopsy if anything shows up.

 

Are you getting a discharge from your nipple? I would have thought that it should not be ignored.

 

Take care.

That is rubbish treatment. What is the matter with some professionals. In their line of work you would think they would be trained in delivering news even if they were unable to perform what they should have on the day, there are ways of delivering this message. 

 

I have to do this in my line of work every day, watch what I say, how I say it. If I didn’t I would lose my job.

 

I hope you get some answers soon.
