Anyway, she dismissed it due to the fact she couldn’t feel a lump behind it, and it disappears when I lie down.
Fast forward a few weeks and I’m still worried, so I went to see another GP for a second opinion. This one admitted that she couldn’t see it, (though she only examined me sitting up and didn’t really look underneath my breast-but she looked at my photos)
She also dismissed it as she couldn’t feel any lumps.
Thing is, on breast cancer forums, many people have had breast dimples without lumps, and it seems to still be something that should be scanned as sometimes the lump can be too deep to feel.
I went to the breast clinic in June for Mondors Syndrome and a swollen lymph node. They scanned my boob, but not all of it...just the area where the problems were.
My GP keeps saying she is sure they would have scanned the whole breast....which I think is another reason they won’t refer me back. But I’m sure they only scanned a small area.
I don’t know what to do. I suppose I have to just watch this dimple for changes, but the uncertainty is killing me!
Has anyone else had to deal with a breast dimple that hasn’t been scanned/MRI/mammogram?
