Its a very hard situation, you can see all the different points of view. GPs who can't know everything, test that normally show these things not showing anything. First reaction for me is wouldn't it be great to have a accurate blood test that would show cancer presence - but straight after that I realise they would then have to find were the cancer is.... AFraser sounds like she has a great doctor - who will admit when she doesn't know!! I had an acquaintenace at work who after finding out I had had treatment for BC mentioned to me that she often has a discharge from her nipples - she goes to her local GP and has had tests done previously - I almost blurted out how many times I have read on this site about just such things happening - but caught myself and just told her to go to a breast clinic as they really knew what they were doing. She left so I don't know if she did. Definitely advise those Docs what happened. At least they may do things differently from now on!!
