Hello all!
I’ve been having breast cancer anxiety lately after finding an indentation on the curvature of my right breast located at the underside towards the bottom. It is more noticeable when I raise my arms and completely doesn’t exist if my arm is lowered. I do have quite the loose skin, stretch marks, and cellulite in this breast that is noticeable. I have quite large breast size 40DDD. So I have developed all these stretch marks and cellulite and loose ness because of this. It’s odd because when I raise my arm you can see it, but when I pull on the indentation it goes away, also when I squeeze the indentation it literally looks more defined like cellulite or stretch-mark. Basically it’s easily manipulated. There are no lumps felt in this area, the area feels soft like a pillow. I had a manual breast exam in May. An ultrasound of my armpit area in June. Both were fine.
Obviously, my concern is that when you google indentations in breast everything comes up as a warning sign of breast cancer. The only time I get different opinions is when I’m reading forums of others experiences. So I’m trying to be as rational and deliberate on my own. I’m trying to think that if this worst case scenario, and it is breast cancer from what I’m reading, women who have presented with dimples almost always had an earlier stage, almost like this is a very subtle early sign. I also can’t feel any lumps and if it were to have spread by now the ultrasound I had in my armpit lymph nodes in June would’ve demonstrated that. Again, this is my brain trying to rationalize.
I am 30 years old, only history of breast cancer in family is my grandmother on maternal side who was diagnosed at 73 and not likely to be genetic. Her cancer was caught in stage 1, low grade, ductal carcinoma, estrogen positive, her2 negative. She had a lumpectomy and radiation for two weeks. Takes hormone therapy pills I believe to stop the estrogen. Currently in remission for a year and a half.
Has anyone had anything similar, what was your outcome?
