Bleeding nipple

Hi Harleybear, what results and scans have you had so far.  I could not feel my lump  but did have nipple discharge xxx

I have a large lump which on initial biopsy appeared that they had got it early .  However after feeling it the consultant asked for a deeper biopsy to test the middle of the lump to see if it is more invasive. I get these results on Thursday. Now my nipple is bleeding and am worried that this does mean it is more invasive . The lump is not near my nipple it is underneath at the bottom . Am I right to be more concerned xx

Hi, no please don't be more concerned, wait for your results and your consultant will discuss them all with you. My nipple discharge saved me, I could not feel my lump. I may not of still felt it, but now it has been removed. Best wishes xxx

Thanks, do you mind if I ask what stage and type your cancer turned out to be and if you had just the lump or a mastectomy .  Don’t feel you need to share this just thought I would ask . Xx

A bleeding nipple was the only symptom I had. I had 2 quite large tumours but couldn't feel them

Hi that's okay  mine was idc, grade 2, total area removed 21mm with dcis. Think my  lump was 11mm.  So stage 1.  I had a theraputic mammoplasty with reduction on other breast at same time.  Healed really well, but unfortunately my area of dcis,  was bigger than the scans showed so they couldn't get clear margins. So today I have seen my plastic consultant, and I have decided on masectomy with immediate reconstruction. My lymph nodes are clear.  All very positive, and indicating it has been found early. For me my nipple discharge saved me. Let me know how everything goes  Best wishes xxx

Hi Bustysusy, same as me, I could not feel mine  and a bleeding nipple was my only symptom.  Have you finished your treatment now   best wishes xx

Thanks , love that . It can certainly mess with your head for sure xx

I was diagnosed in 2014, finished treatment almost a year to the day in 2015. Discharged by oncologist 2016. Al done and dusted 

I had a bleeding nipple and it wasn’t an aggressive cancer, all it means is it has grown through a capillary vein in my understanding, it genuinely doesn’t mean it’s any worse x
