Went to the breast clinic yesterday. Bolton hospital is a huge site with dozens of buildings and it took me ages to find the right one. Fortunately I'd allowed plenty of time ๐.
I was examined by a very pleasant lady, who appeared on the staff list as "Miss X", so I'm assuming she was a surgeon. She examined me, agreed that it could certainly be treated, and explained what the different surgical procedures entailed (including having your nipples turn black and fall off if they lose blood supply!). Next step is a need to have medical photographs taken (appointment for that one Monday) and then she needs to go to a board of some sort and request funding for the procedure.
Just received a follow-up clinical appointment for 28th April next year, so clearly this isn't going to be a rapid process!
Cheers,
Chris
