Does breast cancer always change how breast looks?

Hi, 

I've posted before and am waiting for an ultrasound after a mammogram as one breast is looking different to the other (on mammogram). I've had upper shoulder pain and hip pain on the right side for a long time and my head is running wild with scenarios that I have cancer that's spread. I am always tired but I have 2 small kids so put it down to that. The breast il getting seen to doesn't look very different to the other side, no dimpling or inverted nipple etc. im just wondering is it possible to have breast cancer that has spread without much changes to the breast itself? Xx 

thanks

    I can tell from your post that you've made that you're feeling incredibly anxious at the moment ahead of your next appointment. It's understandable that you're worried. 

    If you've not already done so then I'd really encourage you to give our team of nruses a call and talk things through with them. I'm sure they will be happy to offer any advice and support that they can. They're available Monday to Friday 9 am to 5 pm on 0808 800 4040. 

    Hopefully, the breast care team will be able to give you some answers and reassurance soon. 

    Let us know how you get on.
