Hello ladies
Hope that some of you have been through something similar! i have a large area of thickened tissue in my left breast that i first noticed 3 months ago, under the thickened tissue it feels like lots of soft bumps, no actuall fixed lump.
I have been to my doctors 3 times about this and they wouldnt refer my for a scan due to my age! (im 23) the first doctor i said it was very swollen and gave me some cream, it hadnt gone down so i went to another doctor who keeps saying " nothing there nothing there" its so frustrating as she wouldnt feel the other breast to compare and my mum came with me to tell her there is a definate thickening!! and she can feel it but she kept saying you are fine etc etc. She also examined me very differently to the other doctor, it was like a prodding technique, if i checked my breasts the way she did i wouldnt feel anything either!!
I am due to see another doctor tomorow so wish me luck
i am just worried as alot of breast cancer websites say that cancer can appear as a thickening or a lump, i dont know why i am being dismissed like this.
I can see lots of threads on breast lumps but not thickening, it would be nice to know if someone has had something similar
thank you!! xxx
