Don’t know where to start..

having a heightened sensitivity in my left nipple and aches and pains in my left breast I decided to do a full breast examination (a week ago today). When gently pressing around my nipple I lost some cloudy like discharge with bright red blood, this happened again on the Sunday. I couldn’t feel any lumps etc but the discharge worried me so I called my GP.

I got into the drs on Monday and she did a full breast examination. She said my right breast felt fine but did find 2 lumps in my left breast - one underneath and one on the left hand side. She’s referred me to the two wait wait screening centre and my appointment came through today. It’s a week today.

I’m a busy mum of 4 and a primary school teacher (aged 35). I’m trying not to think the worst but it’s so, so hard.

So sorry to hear that you have a week of waiting, but (and easy for me to say) try not to worry until you know. Hopefully you have lots to do keep you busy and distracted, good luck x

Hi MissCLI,

The waiting is awful. I found my mind would be forever thinking the worst.

I'm a couple of weeks further down the line, as I found a lump 4 weeks ago.

I'm also a busy mum of 4. There's always something to occupy your time. Try and stay away from Google.

The breast clinic I was referred to were absolutely brilliant, and they really looked after me. The worst bit about the day of my appointment is that I went alone, with hindsight I should have had someone waiting in the car. But it was the Easter holidays and I prioritised my children. The hours drive home alone wasn't great.

I really hope your appointment goes well on Wednesday, I'll be thinking of you.
