Change in breast size

I had breast cancer surgery in my right breast 10 years ago and the cancer was caught early so after 5yrs my medication was stopped.  Last year I had a mammogram which seemed suspect but was told later that it was a false alarm.

In the last month I have noticed a marked reduction of that breast comparison to my other one.  Should I get it checked out ?  Is this indicative of the cancer returning?

  • Hello and thanks for your enquiry,

    Breast tissue does change as we age, so size and appearance often also alters as we age. If you are worried, then do make an appointment to see your GP for a breast examination. They can assess you and advise further. It makes sense to get checked for peace of mind.

    I hope that you manage to get this health concern addressed soon,

    Best wishes,
