Hello there. Wave tone2

I’m possibly being over neurotic here but I’ve suddenly noticed a small very solid white ‘discharge’ from one of my nipples. 
I’m 72 years old and have been treated all this past year for advanced ovarian cancer. As I feel my body has let me down now ( I had such silent symptoms) any new, unusual symptom presenting itself sends alarm bells. 
I have no dimpling and cannot feel any lumps and it is just my right breast.

Yes, of course, I’ve googled and googled but thought it was almost easier to ask on here. 
I do feel unwell and tired but have also started an ovarian cancer maintenance drug at Christmas which I think is the culprit of that. 

Anyone else had this symptom? 
many thanks. X 

  • Hi 

    I do not think you are being neurotic. It’s natural to feel the way you do given your dealing with ovarian cancer. Visit your GP or speak to your cancer team I’m sure they will check for you and refer, it will put your mind at rest. 

  • Thank you. I’m actually at the oncologist later this next week so shall ask the nurse. 
    I think you just lose confidence that things are going to be ok. 

  • Our minds take over and we always think the worst. 
    I am sure someone else who has experienced discharge will answer your questions 

    hope all goes well for you. 

  • I had a hard rough nipple for weeks put moisturiser on and the found very very small pin prick size dots of blood.

    It’s probably nothing but put your mind at rest and get it checked.

    Good luck X

  • I hope you've had your appointment already but just wanted to say i've had this type of discharge just from my right one and pointed it out during my last mammogram which is why when I got the recall I guessed it was about that.  It wasn't and I had BC in my left breast.  I'm told the white discharge is normal.
