Hello everyone! 

Hope you are well and I gather you find yourselves reading my post for the same reasons I was coming onto this forum for the last few months! 

I thought I would pop by and place a post considering that I have been relying on everyone's experience for a long time now however, I gathered I would wait until my breast clinic appointment (31 October 2022) to give you all a full update rather than worry you if you happen to be expericing the same symptoms I am... 

For a few months now I slowly witnessed changes to my breasts, in particular my smaller breast being the "Right" where I eventually became obsessive over self checks and convinced myself that I could feel stuff. On this basis and being an extremely anxious person, I got the courage and made a doctors appointment. 

Firstly, let me go into my symptoms... Since around about June 2022 I started to notice that my nipples somewhat indented as I lay down however, I never really took any notice until my partner once pointed that issue out and said "Ewwwww, what is that" since then my frame of mind towards my breasts changed! I started to be super cautious with them and thinking absolutely everything was hurting them. Even the cold! After that a few other symptoms started creeping up such as, my breast asymmetry was clearly noticable, my nipple was indented every time it was becoming erect or I lifted my arm, my right armpit was larger than the other, my right breast was HARDER than the over and my right breast persistently burned,

hurt and was extremely sensitive. 

As evident, I convinced myself "I have breast cancer!" and over and over again I would ask myself "What else could it be!?". Anyway, back to my first doctor appointment where I explained all my symptoms above, she took a look at my breasts and had a feel for them and said she wasIn't concerned and to only go back if my nipple was extremely indented! Anyway, I walked out with some peace of mind however, that peace only lasted a couple of days until I found myself back on this forum and Dr Google to try and see if anyone else was experiencing the same symptoms. Well 3 weeks went by and my mind was going crazy so I asked my doctor to refer me to a breast clinic "Privately" as I was desperate to be seen. 

Thankfully, I booked an appointment last Monday and was seen today! After a super horrendous appointment lead up and plenty of tears I was seen today, I really expected it to be the worst news that would change my life forever. 

I was relieved to hear the doctor say, "It is just a combination of scar tissue and fat and the pain most probably is coscondentritis". He said he couldn't see a thing. 

I really wanted to post a positive story on here in order for some of you who are experiencing symptoms like mine do not lose hope that everything might be ok! Just get any concerns checked out, it really is worth it. This is merely to let all of you know that despite having symptoms does not mean you have cancer.
