Lump and indents in breast with weight loss

hi, I’m new to all this but have been reading previous articles on here and have found the support overwhelming! 

Im currently waiting for my breast clinic appointment this Saturday! I’m terrified!! 

I cant really pinpoint a start date for all this but I have lost 2 stone unintentionally since November... I have then had a dull aching sensation around my armpit shoulder and breast on my right side for the last 8 or so weeks.... I found a lump in my right breast 2 weeks ago and when checking in the mirror 1 week later I noticed that when I lifted my arm to check it again the lump was  noticeable and my breast skin around it was sucking In!! 

Obviously went straight to the gp who arranged a X-ray the next day and and breast clinic this week...

i havnt told many people just those closest to me I’m only 28 and have 3 young children and obviously those people I have told have said your to young for it to be cancer! But am I? I’m so scared that it is because I’m just thinking all these things could now be linked! 

I have high risk family history when it comes to breast cancer but noone has ever been this young! Am I just stressing for no reason?! 

  • Hello there,

    Sorry you find yourself on here. Please don't be worried about the breast clinic, they are very thorough, and professional, you may or may not be given an indication of what the lump could be on the day. Also don't panic if they need a biopsy, this is pretty common and painless ( I promise) 

    Try to stay off dr google, he will only leave you more frantic! It's also worth remembering that 8/9 out of 10 lumps are harmless and as a general rule cancer lumps tend to be painless......

    Do let us know how you get on on Saturday, take it a step at a time....xxx

  • Hello, sorry to hear you're going through this. I'm in exactly the same situation as you, 28 3 young children. Very stressed out and anxious. Such a back log of appointments and I'm not able to be seen until 14th February. I hope your appointment goes okay today, please give an update :)
