Thickening of breast tissue, gristly. pain, lymph nodes.

I’ve had a mammogram and aspiration and it was all ok a few months ago but now I feel more thickening or a lump which is painful , should I go back ? Many thanks xxx

Hi…my doctor has just referred me to the breast clinic as I have a dimple and thickening around it…does this mean cancer…everything I seem to read with thickening seems to be cancer

No it doesn’t mean it is breast cancer ,there are lots of other explanations for changes to your breast the doctor is just playing safe as without other tests they can’t say for sure what they are looking at .If you read some of the other threads in this section you will see that lots of ladies who are referred to clinic do not have cancer .Hope all goes well for you .Jill.

Anxiety makes you hyper aware of every ache and pain.Good luck with your appointment .

I had a mammogram and ultrasound yesterday and today I received a call that I have to come back for more test. They say I need another ultrasound due to changes in my left breast from my last mammogram. I am concerned, scared and I just don’t know. And of course my appointment is not for two weeks. Now to wait
