Advice - concerns about breast health

Hi everyone 

i posted in here a while back

i had what felt like bruising around my left breast and heaviness

went to gp who examined and said left bigger than right but that could be normal but she could feel lumpy areas so referred to breast clinic.

had a mammogram and after a few weeks wait was told no lumps found so probably muscle related

Bur not sure if I should go back to gP as still got a bruised like intermittent pain around left side I suppose between breast and ribcage and something just doesn’t feel right i cant feel any lumps but do have slight discoloured area which was there before and consultant said it was probably excema.

also when i put hands in hips can see very small indent/puckering area small though

Im probably just being paranoid but wondered has anyone else experienced this woth no obvious lumps

only had mammogram not any scans

Thanks

  • Hi Nicola,

    I'm glad to hear that you've put things in motion. Hopefully, you'll get an ultrasound this time and can then be certain that there is no cancer present. However, as Laraj says, TCP's case shows that it is always best to make sure. It is true that certain types of cancer occasionally fail to show up on mammogram.

    The photos are a good idea. Sometimes the old adage "A picture paints a thousand words" turns out to be spot on.

    Here's hoping that you get the reassurance you need.

    Kind regards,

    Jolamine xx
