Total duct excision

Hi there everyone. I had a total duct excision just over 2 weeks ago after I noticed I had been bleeding from my nipple. Since having it done I’ve still had small amounts of milk coming out (haven’t breastfed for at least 18 months) and an even greater amount of blood than was coming out before.. is this normal?! I cannot find anything on it at all. I’m seeing the surgeon on Tuesday for my results etc so I will ask her but id love to hear from someone that has had it done if this happened to them too 

  • Hi MrsE and welcome to Cancer Chat.

    I'm sorry about what's happened since you've had the excision but hopefully the surgeon you're seeing today can reassure you it's no cause for concern.

    I think there have been a few posts on the forum recently about this procedure so hopefully some of our members who have had this done will reply to you soon but if not, don't be afraid of using the 'search forum' button in the blue bar above to join in on any discussions you find about this instead.

    Kind regards,
