Worried

Hi I was on here a few months ago waiting to get in and see a breast doctor at the gold coast. Well I saw them and did a sample of my nipple discharge which they said had no cancer cells. So they told me to keep a eye on it. Anyway a few weeks later I was due for my mammogram and I told them what was going on so that came back OK. But they sent my GP a physical exam sheet to send back to them that was last week. I had just walked in from the GP and they rang me to make a appointment which I had yesterday well that turned into a core biopsy I was a bit shaken up by that. A small lump under my nipple has grown a bit it was not there in January. I asked if it looked solid and they said yes. I get my results tomorrow arvo. So I am a bit worried now.

    @Nenemiles, I hope your biopsy comes back clear. I know how horrible the wait is, but if it's something and caught early it's easier to treat. Hang in  there.

    The waiting is terrible @Nenemiles - I feel for you.  It sounds like you have been very aware of the changes to your breast so hopefully all is clear with your biopsy.  Please let us know how you get on.  Jane xx

    Hi well I got my results today and I am more confused now but they told me that it was benign But there was some papillary lesions and something about cell changes. I have to have it out with a open biopsy done. So I was told in a letter they gave me that my risk now is higher and if its BC it will be early stage. So WHAT THE I am so confused now. Sorry for complaining I am still feel silly about this.

    Oh gosh how awful for you. I was told the nipple can conceal cancer in a mammogram  (well that's what the radiologist  told me when I was having an ultrasound on a now hard lump I found 5 weeks after a clear mammogram ). Just know you are in top of this and have done all to ensure good early bc treatment should it come back positive. We are here for you, and fully get how frightened you are feeling right now as all of us have been there. Take care and keep us up to date. Kath x.

    @nenemiles I'm confused too, why didnt they do a mammo when you were there at the Gold Coast? that was a Specialist Breast Doctor? They tested the discharge then said see how you go? So you have the mammo and it was OK? So you go back to your GP, then they ring you for a core biopsy? but the mammo was clear? and they didnt do an ultrasound? Core biopsy comes back clear?  Now you have to have an open biopsy? I've not heard of that ever, wouldnt it be a lumpectomy?

    Sorry it must be very difficult  but I can't make sense of it all, really hope you get it sorted out.
