Hi all
I’m 38 years old. I have 3 young children. 9,6 and 3.
Monday I woke up to a bloody discharge from one nipple. I have pain in the breast and in my armpit. The Dr saw me Monday and has ref me to the breast clinic but I haven’t got a date yet. im away with the kids and my husband tomorrow for a few days. I don’t really want to go. I can’t sleep I’m so worried. Have any of you had similar experiences??
Hi NorfolkC
Welcome to the forum and sorry to hear that you are facing a diagnosis of breast cancer. While it's understandable that you don't want to go away for a few days I think that you would better off going as i think that it will help you to forget about the possibility that you have breast cancer. I went away after I was diagnosed with breast cancer two years ago for two weeks and while I didn't completely forget that i had breast cancer I found that I didn't worry about what was ahead of me at all.
Wishing you the best of luck with your appointment in the breast clinic when you have it.l
Best wishes
