Breast Cancer Now Forum

Hi Wiccabasket,   Sorry to hear your normal Dr wasn't there, it's so upsetting when you want answers, I have similiar thing but I have discharge, been back to Breast Clinic twice and I am having my ducts removed in July, but at the beginning it went on for ages like you say, but be strong if your not happy keep pushing.  So when is your Dr back? maybe try to call and speak to them and get her to change the referral.   Take care and let us know how you get on!xx ...
