I'm so grateful to have found this site today as it really helps to read other peoples experiences and to know that I'm not alone in how I am feeling . On New Year's Day I noticed a whitish bump on one of my nipples and a couple of tiny other white ones on the other nipple . I immediately googled and came up with Montgomery glands which are usually a sign of pregnancy or just hormonal changes but I booked an appointment with my GP and was seen the next day . The doctor examined me and I explained to him about my gland theory and he agreed it was likely but he would feel happier if one of the senior doctors gave me a breast exam . I was then given a 50 second breast exam by a 2nd doctor who said she could feel a thickening and she wanted to refer me to the Breast clinic and gave me a piece of paper with an appointment for this Thursday !! I walked out of there completely stunned and am now completely and utterly terrified . I can so relate to others on here who can't stop thinking about what my 3 beautiful daughters would do without me , my own mum died when I was 13 ( not cancer) and I carry that pain with me every day of my life , I'm 41. I can't sleep or eat and I'm so snappy . I've really tried to stay positive but I'm thinking the worst , it's just the way I am , I'm very grateful that my appointment is so soon but the wait is torture . It's so nice to be able to put into words how I feel my husband bless him is trying his best but no matter how many times he tells me it's going to be ok , it just doesn't help 😓😓thanks for reading xxxx
