Hi Nenemiles,
My first symptom was nipple discharge.
Was at my GP that day and sent for ultrasound, mammogram, core biopsy and specialist advice with further tests.
I'm very thankful my GP was so thorough and followed up with consulting all involved.
I was diagnosed with Paget's disease of nipple ( a rare cancer) which is generally accompanied by cancer in the breast elsewhere, which was also the case.
Within 3 weeks had a mastectomy, started chemotherapy and Herceptin (still under way) and will seek a prophylactic (R) mastectomy also due to aggressive pathology risk.
Always trust your gut feeling and seek further opinion until you feel you have an accurate diagnosis send on comprehensive tests and pathology.
best of luck.
