This issues has haunted me since I was in my late teens/early 20s but now I’m in my 30s I’m becoming extremely paranoid about my limit breasts. For as long as I can remember they have been lumpy and change constantly making it so difficult to keep a track of any concerning changes and also very hard to find abnormal lumps in amounts the ropey, hard texture. Since having children I now have lots of stretch marks which makes it difficult to see any skin changes. The upper quadrants are more of a concern, I feel several lumps but they all feel knotted together and almost rectangular, I have to press very firmly into the tissue to feel them. I have been to the GP several times in the last 10 years and have always been told the same “keep an eye through self examination” however they fail to see how difficult it is for me to monitor this given the texture of my breasts, I know I’m not eligible for any form of screening as I don’t have any direct family members with a history of breast cancer, only my grandmother.
im considering trying to source a private scan to get a full picture of what’s happening beneath the surface but don’t know if this is possible or worthwhile!
