Hi , I hope I am posting in the right place. I have recently noticed some changes in my nipples including bloody discharge and change in shape. Also some mild tucking on my left breast. When I went to the GP he said he said he could feel lumps. I got an appointment within two weeks which I went to today. It was a center that does everything mammograms , ultrasounds and biopsy if needed. When I arrived it was clear they had overbooked and were under some pressure. 2 hours wait later I am seen by a doctor , she examined my breast while I lay down and could feel something so got a consultant in. He said I was to be referred for an ultrasound as I was under 35 so I couldn't get a mammogram. I thought it would be done today but they are apparently only had one technician in to do ultrasounds and all his slots were already taken for the day( this is at 12) . So now I have to wait again for an appointment to get an ultrasound. Possibly 2 -6 weeks.
I am not sure why I am posting. I think I am just mad that I hoped I would have some idea what was going on today but I just have confirmation that yes there is something and it needs to be examined further. I knew this two weeks ago. Any advice from anyone who has been in this situation. I have just read up on what happens at a breast clinic and it sounds so different from what I experienced they were almost disinterested because I was younger than 35 and had no family history of breast cancer.
