Welcome to the Cancer Chat community CocoSimba123 although I'm sorry for the worry this is causing.
Due to tomorrow's bank holiday, our cancer nurses will be back on Tuesday and will reply to you as soon as they can.

Hello and thanks for your post,
I am sorry to hear that you are feeling worried about your breast. The forum is not the place to diagnose anyone so do make an appointment to get checked out. You will have a telephone appointment and then if the GP needs to see you then they can arrange a face to face appointment for a breast examination.
Try not to think the worst. The dent in your breast maybe nothing at all but it is always a good idea to get any changes checked out. Doctors have guidelines when examining breasts and if they feel that it needs further investigations they will refer you to a breast clinic.
Anxiety about our health can sometimes make symptoms feel so much worse. The discomfort that you are feeling maybe connected to changes in your hormone levels but of course I can't be sure.
I hope that you make an appointment soon.
All the Best,
Catherine
