Dimple on breast

Hollsdolls10

Hi guys,

This is my first post. I have an appointment for the breast clinic on 26/09 as I have found a dimple on my right breast. Along with the dimple there seems to be a visible vein which also dimples inwards when I raise my arm. I am 34 years old and I am really nervous. I have also been experiencing pain in the right breast, as well as tenderness.

Has anyone experienced anything similar? I have been calling the clinic every day to see if they have any cancellations but nothing as of yet. I'm trying not to panic too much but I am very aware of my body and this is definitely new.

  • Hello Hollsdolls10 and welcome to the Cancer Chat forum.

    I'm sorry to hear about the dimple you've found on your breast and for the worry this, and the other symptoms you've been experiencing, are causing.

    So many of our members have been in a similar position and know all too well how scary and stressful this time can be, so you are not alone HollsDolls10, and I'm sure it won't be long until some of them stop by to share their experiences and advice.

    I'm not sure from your post if you have been referred to a breast clinic before, but if not, then I hope this information I've found on what happens at a breast clinic appointment will help.

    If you'd like to talk any of this through with one of our cancer nurses, they're available on 0808 800 4040, Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m. They're very easy to talk to and will do all they can to support you and address any other worries or concerns you may have at this time.

    We're thinking of you HollsDolls10 and wishing you all the best with your appointment on the 26th.

    Kind regards,
