Breast shrinkage

I am lady of 77. About 2 months ago I noticed  that my left breast was smaller than the right. It sounds silly because I don't know if that's always been the case and I have not noticed before! My GP is foreign and I have a lot of trouble understanding him, especially on the phone so I  am loath to ring him. I am widowed and I don't want to worry my daughter. I try to tell myself I am worrying about nothing and keep pushing it to the back of my mind. Any comments please? Thank you.

  • Hi Patsy,

    It's a running joke among our friend group that the girls all have  one breast bigger than the other! It is fairly common. However, if it's a new development I would get it checked out even by a nurse to see if there is any lumps or bumps (or even do a self check - I believe there's a link on this site)

    Best of luck, I hope all is okay!
