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.

- Crossing fingers for you @Nenemiles. Hope you're doing something lovely for you in the meantime to try and keep your mind occupied. Xx
- Thanks to all of you amazing ladies just reading what you all go though makes me feel like I don't have anything to really worry about. I will take one day at a time. Thanks and I will let you all know what happens. Xo
- I really feel for you, seems incredibly strange, I remember your posts it started in January, that's 7 months just to get to this point. Must be very difficult, an US and Mammo, and smear of the discharge to come back with nothing. Then back for another US, biopsy etc., Maybe there are ladies here who have used Breast Screen and attended Robina Hospital on the Gold Coast can jump in with some help. M
- Oh wow wishing you all the best hope things go well for you fingers x
- The breast care nurse will be there for support pre and post surgery regardless of pathology diagnosis. I am glad you have been connected with one. Not long now and it will be gone either way. It will truly be a relief after all the stress it has caused. Kath x
- @Nenemiles sounds like you've been on a long road to diagnosis but nearly there! Good luck with your upcoming appointment. Hope all goes well! Take care
- Melclarity yes its a bit confusing. But I have a lump that was found not by mamo. The mamo didn't show anything that didn't surprise me as I have dense breast and they told me you can't detect papilloma on mamo. They found papillery lessions they can be cancer so they told me there could be cancer around the edge of it. This is a rare kind of BC. And because there was hyperplasia I think that's how its spelled. So they said it has to come out and the leaky duct. Xo
- So, you did see the Breast Specialist at Gold Coast Hospital, and they only tested the discharge? then sent you away. You went back to your GP and after a mammo that was benign yet the GP did the examination. You are now going back? to the Gold Coast Hospital on the 14th. Sorry I can't help or make sense of any of that, very odd. All the best. M
- Hi ladies just a update I went to my G P on Monday and she sent through the referral to the gold coast hospital and they rang yesterday with a appointment for the 14 of August. A breast care nurse will ring me this week. I am not sure why. But anyways I Hope you are all OK and thinking of you all.xo
- Well explained. Sometimes when small it can be difficult to biopsy more then one area. Yes an open biopsy... or lumpectomy is the better option and soon you will have definitive results.
