So I first noticed an indent right above my nipple on my left breast at the end of July. I was breastfeeding at the time and didnt think much of it at first, till I noticed that even long after breastfeeding it stayed indented. I panicked & went to see our womens health nurse. She did a breast exam and couldn't feel anything, she wasn't worried at all but thought it just came from breastfeeding.
I was fine with that for a while, but then thought I should probably get a second opinion from a doctor just to be safe. I went, and he sent me for an ultrasound at a breast clinic. Well nothing concerning was found.
Then I found a small swollen lymph node on that same side a little above my collarbone and now I'm terrified that it indeed must be breast cancer and it has spread. It's not painful, so it's not a reactive node.A lymph node above the collarbone is apparently always a bad sign. I did get a doctor to feel it and all he said is wait for a few weeks to see if it'll go away. I'm just so scared.
I breastfed my baby till 1yr 5months but weaned him 6 weeks ago and the indent is still there.
