Hello All, my first post. Just don’t know which way to turn at the moment. Like so many of you, I’m worried sick. I’ve had pain in my left breast for the past month or so. I’m post menopausal, 64 years old. I was doing a breast check and raised my arms as advised when you do a breast check and noticed a slightly indented line running right down my outer left breast and at the bottom, almost under my breast, a slight dent. I Googled as we do, and saw that indents can be a sign of inflammatory breast cancer. I’m seeing my GP on Tuesday and hoping I’ll get a referral to the breast clinic but know I’m going to be worried sick now for the next few weeks until I’m seen. That’s even if I’m referred. I’m thinking of paying privately for an ultrasound. Can’t really afford it but I’m hoping I’ll get some peace of mind. Has anyone had similar? It’s cruel having to wait so long for tests. If there was only a quicker way without having to pay through the roof for private tests and treatment.
Thanks in advance to anyone who replies and I wish everyone on here all the very best.
