Hello,

I am new to the community, found my way here from Dr. Google. I am 44 years old, and had partial hysterectomy in 2013. I lost my mom in 2006 from metastatic cancer. Because of this, I had genetic testing and found out I have the ATM gene and RAD51 mutation. I have had preventative testing for a couple of years now with no problems. My next diagnostic mammogram and MRI was postponed due to COVID19. That wasn't a problem for me until I woke up one morning, almost 2 weeks ago, with a very sore nipple. I constantly feel a burning/tingling sensation. It's hypersensitive. I also have pain/fullness In the bottom of my breast, and under my nipple. Thankfully I have an appointment with my breast surgeon tomorrow. He said he would do an ultrasound in the office. Oddly after doing a self check I noticed nipple discharge (green) coming from the other breast. I feel lumps in both of them but not really sure what to think. I've had cysts in the past. I'm really hoping this is an abscess. Any thoughts or questions I should ask at my appt tomorrow? Forgot to mention, I have been running a low grade temp.
