no lump or thickening - confused

[Kess]

changes in hormones can cause breast changes, and that would not be surprising if you have just come off the pill, You dont say what symptoms you are having. It is probably nothing, but if it is persisting you should probably get it checked out just for reassurance (but if its just started and you have only recently stopped the pill you might want to give it a week or too)

Thanks donna. I am waiting to hear from the breast clinic as my GP asked if I wanted him to refer me. The way he said it though was just for my own reassurance.
I am very confused at the moment though as I have other currently undiagnosed problems going on in my body and before my breast problems started I had come off the pill after a long time so my head is in a right mess

Hi Beck

If you are concerned ask to be referred on.

I knew something was different with my breast, GP said nothing to worry about then consultant said the same. However my mammogram showed a lump which was cancer

I am sure yours is nothing but keep pushing until you get the all clear

Good lluck

Is it possible to have breast cancer if you cant even find a lump or any thickening? I couldnt find anything and my GP couldnt either after a good examination of breasts and underarms. He also said my breasts are normal shape for my age.

Also could coming off the pill after over 10 years cause breasts to change and feel different.
