Hello Sonya, and thank you for posting.

I'm afraid I don't know what has caused the dent in your armpit, or whether this means there is anything the matter.  Anyone who notices any persistent changes in their body that concerns them are best off speaking to their GP which you have done. They have assessed you and decided that for the moment watch and waiting is the best plan. If you notice any future changes that concern you do go back to the doctor.

Unfortunately any symptom searched on the internet will mention cancer, but many different things can go on in the body that aren't necessarily anything sinister. 

Take care Sonya, and do remember that anyone who comes forward with their experiences of this are talking about their own individual situation.

Sarah.

Hi Sonya I know it's been over 2 years since your post but I wondered if you ever found out about the reason from for the dent. I have exactly the same and am worried sick. Best wishes Tracey

Hello Traceyghouse and thanks for your post,

I am sorry to hear that you are worried about the dent on your breast. If you haven't made an appointment with your GP then do make one. Your GP  can perform a breast examination and hopefully put your mind at rest.

I am sure that if your GP felt that you needed further investigations they would refer you to a breast clinic. Most people who are referred to a breast clinic don't have cancer but if the GP has any concerns at all I am sure that they would consider referring you.

Even though it is reassuring to hear what has happened to other members on the forum everyone's situation is slightly different and it is only the clinical judgement of your doctor at the surgery that you need to listen to.

I do hope that you know more soon.

If you would like to talk things through with one of the helpline nurses then you are welcome to give us a call.  The number to call is Freephone 0808 800 4040 and the lines are open from 9am till 5pm Monday to Friday.

All the best,

Catherine
