I got home from the gym and noticed a slight indent(?) in my left breast. I’m not sure if it is a stretch mark from my previous pregnancy (2 years ago) or possibly cancer. Google searches are triggering my anxiety. I did message my OBGYN for a possible mammogram. Does anyone else have something like this?
I added some photos to reference. I only see it when my arms are raised. I don’t feel any lumps and no other symptoms.
Hi,
Contact your Gp and get it checked out. If you don’t you will always have that doubt in the back of your mind. Hopefully it will be nothing but push for a referral to a breast clinic as it is only a mammogram and ultrasound that will give you a firm diagnosis. Wishing you well.
Very true! Thank you for your kind words. I wasn’t sure if I should contact my OBGYN or GP first. I also wasn’t sure if you can make an appointment at the Breast Clinic or if you need a referral, etc. Might depend on insurance I suppose.
Hi, in the UK it would be a GP as first point of contact. I am guessing you are not, so it will probably depend on your insurer, but do get it checked out. Best wishes.
I had the same I’m afraid to say and didn’t worry as it was an indent rather than a lump. Mine was cancer, it was more noticeable than yours but I would encourage you to go the gp and get it checked. Mine was lobular which doesn’t form a lump. Hopefully you will be given the all clear but go and get checked x
Will you update on what it is as I have a slight one in my left breast, right breast had cancer. I didn’t think anything of it as I had my 3/5 month post surgery check up a couple of weeks ago & it wasn’t mentioned, or not noticed.
