Hi @tallytubby2001
That is good news.
Did your GP speak with you regarding any follow up or review of your breast symptoms?
Was there any discussion regarding your family history? Im following up as you mentioned your family history in your initial post. You can ask your GP for a referral to a familial cancer clinic to speak with a genetic counselor. Genetic testing is not done immediately, the first step is to obtain a detailed family history, based on family history they can identify the level of risk and what is the appropriate screening to put in place for your individual situation. This may involve regular checkups with your GP.
I have attached some information below regarding common breast problems which includes information on the investigations of breast symptoms.
