Breast feels empty?

A section of my Brest feels like there's nothing there, there is no verry obvious change visually because it's where the breast naturally curves, there's a small amount of pain whenever i put a good bit of pressure which I assume could be normal. I have been to the gp and was told not to worry because I'm young but I'm still feeling quite anxious about it as I was given no other indication of what it could be. Has anyone else experienced this before? Or have any ideas on what this may be? Should I seek a second opinion? I am feeling quite anxious about it as there is a family history of Brest cancer 

  • Hello Mcg5 and thanks for posting, 

    I am not sure what you mean by this empty feeling, but I think you can be reassured by what your GP told you. I assume you had a physical examination but am not sure if this has happened, if not it is reasonable to ask for one. 

    Although I am not sure of your age, in general, breast cancer is uncommon in younger people, so it is a less likely explanation for any symptoms.

    I think to get some peace of mind perhaps you should see the same or another GP again, but I don't think you need to be unduly anxious in the meantime.

    If you want to talk anything over please do give us a call on Freephone 0808 800 4040, we are around weekdays from 9am till 5pm. 

    Best wishes,

    Julia
