Hiya This is a bit long Soz,

I'm Sue ok so where to start Right so on Sunday the 9th of June I had a few sharp pains in my right boob, then later on I got some discharge from my nipple, so on Monday morning I booked an appoinent with the doctor. I needed to study for my last maths GCSE exam the nxt day. So went to doc and she took a swab to get checked and put me on antibiotics for 10 days 500mg 4-times a day. I was goi away on the wed for a wk to lanzarote with my friends from college now I couldn't drink PLUS ALL-INCLUSIVE

Had a great time though .. Roll on last wk So what I thought was all better, back to normal boobage lol The right nipple was leaking and I could feel some lumps coming from the armpit into the boob. Me friend pop round and I got her to have a look didn't say what I'd felt though. She looked at both and noticed that the right nipple was darker than the left right around the areola too.  Then she had a feel and found the same lumps as I did.

Got to the doctors and filled her in and she examined me ect for about a min!!! felt from armpit  to the nipple then stopped and had tat face yea know the one.  She went to her desk I got dressed and when I sat down she said I'm going send you straight to a Breast Surgeon for a urgent  2week appointment.  They rang the nxt morning with an appointment for the 16th July not at my local hospital but over the other side of city as tat was the earliest app and they didn't want me to wait for one nearer my house. I have lost a lot of weight in the past 6-12mts around four sstone especial the last 2mnt. 

As far I was aware it wasn't in the family. Asked my maternal aunty as my mam died when I was 11 not cancer,  she told me Two of our aunts died pre menopause about age forty or so other aunt got it early in life but survived till her late sixties all from breast cancer. II dont know what to do with meself at all me heads mashed up. I'm not telling my husband or kids till I know what's what.

ANY ADVICE PLEASE

    I am replying to you so that you know we are here to support you , Sunday’s can be quite. 

    The shock and the surreal feeling that this ( what ever it is) can’t be happening to me , the wish to act like a 2yr old and have a tantrum to relief stress is immense . 

    I know you don’t want to tell your husband . I once had a false alarm years ago and went to hospital with a friend , when my husband found out he was so hurt ( angry too) . He made me promise not to exclude him again . 

    This time I got a recall letter after routine mammogram and I couldn’t hide my distress . At one appointment when my husband was out of the room - I said to the nurse that I thought I wouldn’t tell my husband about the next round of tests . She said that was my decision but once you start to exclude your partner it’s a downward spiral .

    Yes I was upset to upset him with all the tests -took weeks  before I got the diagnosis but he was my rock and couldn’t have gone through the stress without his arms round me . We cried with all that was unknown and now we celebrate good news . You may very well have good news . But what ever happens in the future I know we are stronger . 

    We are all different and some ladies try the journey on their own , some have no choice but my husband and I had some wonderful close moments with lots of cuddles and tears . 

    If you click on my name you will see my story . 

    I wish you well , everyone will say that it’s the waiting for appointment s that’s the worst . 

    If you wake / can’t sleep there are a lovely bunch on the “AWAKE” thread . Kept me going at hard times - waiting !! 

    Be kind to yourself 

    love
