I’ve got an appointment with GP tomorrow regarding a change in my right breast. My breast tissue felt thick with a raised lump last week with a faint dent below it. This week it doesn’t feel anything like it did last week and I cannot see the indentation - it’s like I’ve imagined it! I know I haven’t as my partner felt it.
It’s all very scary and confusing, but at least you are seeing your GP tomorrow. They might suggest you come back after a few weeks to see if there have been any changes or maybe they will get you an appointment at the breast clinic. Whatever they do, you are doing the right think by getting it checked out. Good luck for tomorrow and do let us know how you get on!

thanks.
I’ll post the outcome from my GP. I think she may refer me because of family history - hope she does to ease my worties.
Saw GP today, she examined both breasts said she felt thickened tissue on upper outer edges on both but she was not concerned about it.
She noticed the “dimple” on my right breast below the thick lumpy part and is making a referral to the breast clinic becsuse of the “dimple”.
Must say it was a truly dreadful GP consultation - such a cold encounter, no eye-contact, no explanation of how long i’d have to wait to be seen. When i asked she said “i don’t know” . I explained my family history. I also explained I had a holiday booked on the 14th of October For a week me to which she replied “oh you won’t be seen that soon” So i’ve a 4 week wait to be seen. no idea how 'll cope with that!
That sounds a bit rubbish! Where in the country do you live? I have an indentation and I had a call from breast clinic that evening with an appointment the next week (exactly a week ) it’s tommorow, I’m scared! I’m in hampshire I think it’s the policy of a two week time frame here for being seen? Hope you get an appointment soon.
Good luck with your appointment x
I live in Scotland.
I called up the GP practice earlier today to find out if the referral was marked urgent or routine. Receptionist stated she couldn’t see referral but on computer it indicated electronic referral had been sent. Receptionist advised me to contact breast clinic for more details.
Wee bit annoyed at myself for not asking more details about referral at appointment!
Thank you ?, well fingers crossed now you are going to contact them you are on the radar and will get a date set! Hope you don’t have to wait too long!! I’m not sure I’m going to sleep tonight!
