So for the last couple of weeks I’ve had tenderness and pain in my LEFT breast, did the usual poking and prodding - nothing there. I just caused a bruise. The last couple of days the pain has subsided and my period arrived (explains that). BUT this morning I checked my RIGHT breast and noticed quite a long dent, almost looks like a scar, when I lift my arm. It disappears completely when arm is down by my side! No pain, no lump.
Don’t have a GP appt. until end of December!!!
Could this be anything but cancer? I’m 29 & have quite bad health anxiety so this is driving me crazy!
Yes, it is highly unlikely it is bc, mostly all turns out to be well, but it does need to be checked out.
Your dr should refer you to the breast clinic so that it can be properly examined, so don’t be concerned about referral, it’s normal procedure. Mostly the all clear is given.
All good! Dr isn’t concerned AT ALL. No referral. He doesn’t even think it would be classed as “dimpling”. Have to keep an eye on it and if I even feel like something has changed then to go back.
I have a mark like this too. It’s really small and on my left breast. It’s raised, not indented. When I went to the doctor a year ago she said she didn’t think it was anything to worry about and to keep any eye on it. This was 6 months ago when I last went to the doctor. Nothing has changed but I literally touch and feel my breast everyday. I’m paranoid. I made my annual GP apt. For Jan 10 (that’s as soon as they can get me in) and I can’t stop worrying. I check the mark everyday. No change. No bigger. No redness. My left arm is sore and under my armpit is a little sore but l have also been really, well, bloated from eating not so great the last few days. But every new ache and pain has me on edge. It’s getting really hard to function with this anxiety.
