Breast

So last week I thought my nipple was pointing a different direction, the  figured it was in my head. Then getting changed the next day I noticed a dent when I lifted my arm! Also when  I lift my arm the skin looks wrinkled (doesn't look that way on the other breast). 

 

I went to the dr (a radio show had a segment on recognising breast cancer the day I noticed) so I phoned straight away she saw me and told me I was being red flagged to the breast clinic.

 

After speaking to the hospital apparently even red flags are taking up to 10 weeks to be seen!!!

I have intermittent pain in the breast which doesn't appear to be related to pushing anywhere. 

 

I'm really freaking out tonight after convincing myself the past few days that it's nothing. (Before i noticed the wrinkling). 

Has anyone had a similar experience?

  • Hello Mummamia83,

    I see from your post that you are worried about some symptoms you have, but please try not to worry. When you are worried that you may have cancer, it can be tempting to think the worst, but this can end up increasing anxiety rather than making you feel better. And the only person that can diagnose you is your doctor. 

    I hope you get an appointment soon and best wishes,
