Have an inverted nipple on same side as lumpectomy 6 months ago so mammogram , ultrasound and needle biopsy Monday. Results Tuesday and my wonderful surgeon on leave 3 more weeks. Had blood test and sample of nipple discharge (?) sent to the lab. On antibiotics now too.Am worried is recurrence -had radiotherapy May and on hormone therapy past 7 weeks with first Prolia injection - did not expect problem so soon - have to wait and see

@Romla so sorry to hear you have more to worry about so soon after the radiotherapy. I'm new here so don't really have much advice but hopefully it's just an infection and something antibiotics can kick. My fingers are crossed for you. Let us know how you go Monday. Much love x

Thankyou@TripleTea am hoping it's an infection too - have to wait and see - very grateful my gp surgery moved heaven and earth to find only available testing site next week - much of Adelaide is booked

Hi @Romla Thinking of you and hoping all goes well.Summer :-)

Thankyou @Summerhill38 - ignorance and shock helped last time not so easy now when you sort of know what's going on - am a bit wussy

That's not wussy, that's normal! Hope all goes well, best wishes

All things considered who'd thought saying you've got an infection is great news! We do, we get it! That is great news! Take care

Hi @Romla
Good news. Thanks for letting us know. Hopefully the antibiotics will do the trick and that the biopsy results are negative to any nasties. At least you've been checked out so your mind is more at peace.
Keep in touch.
Summer :-)

Dear ladies , My nipple inversion appears to be the result of an infection as blood test,mammogram,ultrasound are all ok - awaiting results of fine needle biopsy and continuing with antibiotics . Am glad it was checked though as is still an indicator of ILC. Thankyou for your support.

I got a spot in my scar line which turned out to be a pressure sore from sleeping on my hand with a ring on and being numb I was unaware of tbe pressure. I was terrified it was a local recurrence and had weeks if poor sleep worrying.

It sounds like infection and retraction due to radiotherapy but I so hope you have results soon. Kath x
