Hi I also went to my gp with a kind of dent in my breast...she couldn’t feel a lump but sent me for a mammogram as a routine check up. The dr I saw prior to the scan also said she couldn’t feel any lump but I would have the scan just to make sure. I had the first lot and then was asked to do a couple of extra ones which started to make me panic. Once they were done I saw the consultant radiologist who said it was an incidental find and nothing to do with the dent - he’d found a small lump on scan. He then performed an ultrasound scan and a biopsy all within 20 minutes...world completely surreal at this point!! I now have to wait 2 weeks for histology results and then they set a plan in place for treatment if it’s not good news. The only thing I can say to try to help is that once they see the lump it’s a fast path to getting it sorted. I feel completely all over the place but also thankful that my gp sent me even though she couldn’t feel a lump. The consultant said it was a ‘lucky find’ as it’s so small...but it doesn’t feel that way! I think the waiting for the appointments is just the worst feeling ever...I’m trying to keep busy and doing the same things I always do but I cry a bit in the shower!! Hope you keep your chin up and stay positive. Xx

Hi, 

I was just wondering how you got on and what your results were .

my experience is almost identical to yours described above and I had core biopsy yday and am just worrying now.

i hope this finds you well. Thanks Vikki x

Hi Vikki

i hope you are ok...it's a truly scary time waiting for the results, but I am here to tell the tale...I was diagnosed with a grade 2 invasive ductal carcinoma ER8 PR8 HER2 negative (these letters and numbers are high oestrogen and progesterone which drove the tumour and the HER2 negative was a good thing) it was 14mm which is about the size of a thumb nail...I have small breasts and was surprised it wasn't palpable to touch. I had a lumpectomy and 4 lymph nodes removed which were all negative. I had 15 days of radiotherapy and I'm taking Tamoxifen for 5 years....I wish I could have said it turned out to be nothing - and it was very surreal going through it...but I'm healthy with a good prognosis so feel very lucky...I hope yours is nothing to worry about - it's good you went to get it checked out, mine was caught early and some friends said they wouldn't have gone for just a little dimple. Good luck and I'll keep my fingers crossed for you Helen x

Thank you for replying, I'm glad to hear that your prognosis is positive after treatment.

fingers crossed if I don't get the all clear  that it has been caught early also ...just hoping for quick results at the moment, patience not my strong point and the not knowing is difficult.thanks again for you reply and wish you all the best for your recovery x

Hi just wondering how you are now? I've got puckering in my my breast and doctor found a lump. Now waiting on my appointment for mammogram etc. Hoping you are doing well now. 

Hi just wondering if you had your appointment yet? I noticed a strange line of vertical dimpling on my breast and the GP referred me. She couldn't find a lump but she thought she felt a thickening of the skin. I have my appointment through for 2nd September and it feels such a long way off. The waiting seems to be awful for everyone so trying to keep busy and not think too much about it. 

Hi there. Yes I had a mammogram and US last week and this week I had 8 biopsies taken from 2 areas. Mammograms and US came back inconclusive but consultant saw a couple of areas of concern. Just waiting on results now. Hopefully get them back in a week or so but like you trying to keep busy and not think too much about it.  It's hard not to get all worked up though! Good luck with your appointments and keep me posted. 

Thanks for replying That's good that you were seen so quickly. I hope your biopsies are all ok and you hear soon. I'll keep you posted too. 

Thank you for your kind words.

Hi,

I'm just wondering how you got on as I have very similar symptoms. I have dimpling under my left breast (more noticable when I lift my arm) and I can feel a long thin lump underneath. I have my ultrasound appointment on Tuesday. 

I knew the dimpling was there for over a week now but have only just found a lump this morning.

I hope everything was positive for you.

Hi guys & Caro85 how did this ever turn out? I’ve dumpling under my left boob when I lift my arm awaiting appt so scared :( 

Hi, thankfully mines was nothing. They said it was normal and couldn’t find a lump. I hope you get good news too x

Thsts brilliant! I hope so too, will update after my appt Tuesday x
