Dimples on breast ?breast cancer

I found these two dimples on my breast and have an appointment with dr to get it checked. My anxiety is absolutely horrendous and I really don't know what to do. I feel so overwhelmed and worried, I am trying to convince myself that it's nothing and that I'm overreacting. I am finding it really difficult to come to terms with the fact that breast cancer is a potential issue. 

  • Hello Gem137

    I'm sorry to hear that you've recently noticed some changes to your breast. It's understandable that you're feeling anxious but it's worth trying to remember that the vast majority of people referred to see a specialist at breast clinic are not diagnosed with cancer. 

    It's good to hear that you already have a GP appointment arranged and hopefully they will be able to give you some reassurance about the changes that you've noticed. I hope that you don't have to wait too long for that appointment. 

    In the meantime, if you'd like to chat with one of our nurses for some support and reassurance you're welcome to call them on 0808 800 4040, Monday to Friday 9 am to 5 pm. 

    Best wishes,

    Hi Gem, 

    You've done the right thing by seeing your GP. You're on the right track for answers. 

    The waiting is horrible, but keep your chin up. We're here if you need us.

    Hi, I'm a little further ahead of you by a week. 
    You've done the best thing getting things checked out.

    You will probably be referred to Breast screening. Mamogram and ultrasound and see a consultant.

    best of luck
