Bleeding from Good Breast

[Pat94]

Hi. My 1st symptom was a bloody discharge from my nipple. My family Dr. thought it was an infection; the majority of time it is. He also referred me to a surgeon who did more tests. In the end, it was a benign papilloma. It didn't show on a diagnostic mammogram or on a sonogram. It did finally show on an MRI. It turned out there was a cancer nearby as well but it was so small it didn't show at all. Luckily, it was in the margin of the tissue excised for the papilloma. It is definitely scary and many doctors aren't well versed in Paget's Disease. My surgeon did not do a biopsy like he should have on the initial surgery but did on the 2nd one. That proved Paget's as well. Any way, I am glad you are being checked. Make sure your nipple is biopsied. They can test the fluid as well if they draw any out. That didn't work for me though. It just wouldn't send out a single drop. We are all pulling for you. Let us know how it turns out.
