dimple and lump

Hi,

I am 25 and have found a dimple at the bottom of my right breast. I didn't think much about it at first then saw on Loose Women it can be a symptom of breast cancer and started to panic.

I have since felt my breast and I think I can I feel lump near where the dimple is.

I have booked an appointment to see my GP and the first slot they had was next Tues.

I am feeling quite scared and I havent told anyone about it yet as I dont want to alarm them - my parents live far away and they panic a lot about me in general. And my boyfriend woudl fall apart he doesnt deal well with a crisis.

 

i have been reading some of the posts on the forum and it is great how supportive everyone is. 

  • Hi Lily...

    Bless ya .. we always panic when something pops up ... and it's always good to get any change checked...  but please remember 8.5 out of 10 lumps are benign... my first four call backs from mamorgrams were all clear... the last being positive .. but I'm 2 years post op now, and doing o.k .. there's lots of us on here .. but we only hear the sad cases on t.v ... there's lots of us living with it ...

    So yes worry, but try not to Google.. that's always worse case sinarios... also you could be put on the two week refural .. don't panic, they try to get all lumps seen as quick as poss ..

    You need to tell someone , even a trusted friend / sibling , someone .. and if you do get appointment for breast clinic, its far better to take someone with you ... my daughter in law came with me, and she remembered things that went over my head ... 

    Fingers crossed though ... keep busy ... but I'm sure you'd want to know if your boyfriend was getting tested ... and if he sees you coping, he may be a tad calmer ... we all panic, its nateral ...
