Hi,
I am new to the site and I am just looking for any advice or personal experience.
I have suspected Paget’s disease which may or may not indicate cancer. This was first suspected by a junior member at my GP however, senior members at the practice state that I am too young to have anything of the sort.
This has been a persistent problem for me for over a year and I am struggling to get any kind of referral despite having an extensive family history of breast cancer. I am in a great deal of pain which affects me daily.
I am wondering if anybody has any experience of younger girls having this disease or if it is even worth continuing to seek a specialist opinion?
apologies in advance if this is not suitable for this forum.
