Dimples and lump

Hi ladies.

I was here December last year having found three large lumps in my right breast. My mum was DX breast cancer last year too and terminal upon diagnosis.

I had mammo and US and informed the lumps were cysts! Fantastic. Life moved on.

Today, I was drying my hair and noticed my left boob was a funny shape in the 5 o’clock position. My boob is rounded anymore in that area below my nipple. There’s about four dimples there when I lift up my arm. So, had a feel around and found two pretty solid lumps and one mobile one. I have a mobile on in my right boob in exact same spot so not worried about that. The two hard ones are my concern. It’s back to the docs st 8.30 in the morning and then, deffo referral to breast clinic (I won’t leave until I have it!).

I NEVER knew that dimpling could be a sign of breast cancer!! OMG! The only reason I booked the doctors was because I google breast simple on images and bam! Same as mine.

I know it’s probably nothing but my god, there NEEDS to be more awareness out there about dimpling!!! All I ever heard about was lumps and inverted nipples!!

Will update after doc app.

Here’s hoping your results are all clean and clear.

Much love. Xx

Hi, you are so right about awareness of dimples in breasts. That was the only symptom I had and it was only visible when I raised my arm in a certain light! It was only because of something I had seen on Facebook that i knew it was something to be concerned about. Thank god I went to the doctors. To cut a long story short I actually had 3 tumours none of which could actually be felt by me or the surgeon as my breast tissue was very dense. 

Luckily I’ve finished treatment and touch wood all is well. 

Hopefully your results will turn out to be ok as not every dimple means something nasty. My sister has just had a scare with one and as our family history is quite bad she had MRI, mammo and us but it turned out to be nothing! 

Good luck. Waiting and not knowing is the hardest part.
