Breast cancer worry - please help

[Panic1971]

Hi there,

Were do I start. I was just getting ready when I noticed one of my breast looked really odd. Its a bit embarrassing - but here goes as I am getting myself into such a state about it.

You know when you are really cold and the area around your nipple kind of shrivels up (I hope this happens to others anyway - but I only have small boobs). Well one of mine was like this and all the skin around the actual nipple was very bumpy and lumpy and it looked really dimply just like what they say to look out for in breast cancer. When I touched it it felt very odd. The other boob didnt change at all and I wasnt even cold. I have never seen it look as bad as this before.

After a while it began to look like the other one and seems to look okay now.

The problem is I am getting myself into such a state thinking I have breast cancer etc and dont know what to do.

Does this seem 'normal' or should I be worried. If the skin was dimply would it be like that all the time or just from time to time.

Please, please, please help if you can.

Thanks

Hi Ann

Sounds like it could be normal; but you should get it checked; ring the doctors in the morning & get it checked out for your own peace of mind... Take care... Juanna

Mine go like that from time to time, but it doesn't matter what we say it is not going to give you peace of mind. So go to the doctors and he will do that for you.

Hi

Sounds pretty normal to me, but to put your mind at ease you would be best getting some medical advise, if you dont want to see your doctor why not ask to see the nurse

Take care
