Breast indent

Hi all 
I have recently had my mirena coil removed and last week found a small rubbery lump in my right breast. I got this checked and the nurse confirmed it and referred me onto the two week wait breast pathway. Since seeing the nurse, my lump seems to have disappeared which is great but I can now see a faint indent just where the lump was felt. 
 

I still haven't had my appointment through for the breast clinic, but I'm sure this will be next week. I'm just really worried about the indent in the breast and my boyfriend can see it too. I'm only 24 so know it is unlikely to be anything serious, I'm just hoping to see if anyone has had any similar experience ️

 

thank you xx

  • Hello Catmum98, 

    You did really well to have this small rubbery lump checked and it's good that they are being thorough and have referred you to be seen at the breast clinic. It's good news that the lump seems to have disappeared since but it's important to still keep the appointment and to mention to them that you definitely felt a lump there and that you now have this indent. 

    Try not to worry too much though as there are so many things that could have caused this but it's always best to have it checked properly for peace of mind. 

    I thought I would share with you this information from Breast Cancer Now on what to expect from your breast clinic appointment. It's normal to be anxious but as mentioned on the information page on what to expect at the breast clinic, it is important to remember that most people who are referred to a breast clinic do not have breast cancer. 

    I am keeping everything crossed for you that you won't have to wait long for your appointment and that it all turns out to be nothing of concern. 

    Best wishes,
