Hi new on here so bit of a long story. Iy started in October noticed a scab on my nipple that wouldn't heal, went to gp in December as couldn't cope with it, was referring to breast clinic and seen in January, mammogram was clear and scan doctor advised e45 cream and left it..fast forward to June and 4 lots of antibiotics steroid cream, no skin let on nipple and it sunk, sent back to breast clinic 6thjuly docto done punch biopsy and said she's not concerned at all...18th July called into breast clinic..doctor apology I'm so sorry its pagets with dcis...need another mammogram and scan ready for lumpectomy which by the way has been arranged for 14th August, oh OK.. called back in on 1st August.. I'm so sorry its spread and is high grade so will need to do mastectomy in stead...my head is swimming and I can't help wonder if she had helped me in January if my outcome would be different.
oh gosh i am so sorry to hear this, hugs from afar, and it must be so angering and frustrating 
. i do hope the surgery helps tho it is not what one wants. i had a lumpectomy and sometimes think taking the whole this gone would have been better, but i am finally not swollen. i also know women who had mastectomy and regretted it to begin with, and my aunt was just happy to have the whole thing gone when she was diagnosed, she then did reconstruction later.
we know something is wrong, my gp was like i don’t feel it. 
yes one of biggest annoyances in all this is having to advocate for oneself so much when we want to curl up in a ball.
lots of support here and hopefully helps you along your road.i read someones journey in breatcancernow who had similar sou ding story and it helped. as do so many on here.
