Hi all,
I now have a yearly appointment at a family history clinic (my mum was diagnosed with breast cancer at 35 and died at 45) but my next appointment is not until December.
About a week ago, my right nipple became extremely itchy, this lasted about 3/4 days, since then the nipple(only the nipple) is tender to touch - this is a strange tenderness/pain - nothing like the normal tenderness you might have with menstrual changes etc.
There is nothing physical to see, in terms of redness, flakiness etc.
My breasts are large and ‘lumpy’ at the best of times - I find it very hard to check them with any confidence.
Any thoughts?
Many thanks,
Conijoni
Hi there conijoni
Apologies that you haven’t received any replies to your post.
Perhaps a vist to your GP would help if you are worried or contact the medical team to see if you can bring your December appointment forward?
Do call the Helpline if you’re still worried, they can direct you to other sources of help and support if necessary.
They’re on 0808 800 6000 and are open 9-5 weekdays and 10-2 on Saturday.
