Dimple in breast

Hello, I went to the drs earlier this week as I noticed a horizontal line dimples in my breast. It's only visible when I lift my arm in the air and I couldn't feel a lump. When I started to look closer under my nipple delves in ever so slightly too. I got in to see my Gp that day and when she examined me she thought she could feel a lump deep in breast, I felt it while I was there but can't feel anything now. My breast is tender but I think it's because I keep checking it. I've been referred to the breast clinic and hopefully be seen within a couple of weeks. My mam and aunty and a couple of cousins have both had treatment and surgery for breast cancer, all are doing well now. I'm not sure why I'm posting here, I think I don't want to talk about it too much at home, my husband has had a lot of surgery for cancer in past couple years and I don't want to drag all those feelings up for him. After all it could be nothing and I feel foolish I also feel bad as the subject and topic make me think I'm jumping the gun and perhaps shouldn't have posted here. Sorry if I'm rambling on....

  • Hi Peaandlou,

    Firstly don't worry about posting on here - it's what we're here for, and it certainly can be a help to write things down in a safe space like this, to others who understand, especially if you feel you're not able to talk to others around you.

    It's never easy when there is this uncertainty and waiting for appointments, so I can understand how you feel - and I know there will be many others here who have been through something similar.

    If you'd like some information about what to expect at the breast clinic, then this link may help.

    I hope it's not too long to wait for your appointment.

    Wishing you all the best,
