Enlarged breasts

Name changed for this as I don’t want it be associated with my other account.
I’ve recently found out I have the BRACA2 gene after my sister was diagnosed with breast cancer. Ever since I’ve been checking my breasts. I’ve also been for an MRI and mammogram a few months ago which all came out good.
Today I noticed that my left breast is larger than the right. Not by a massive significance but it is noticeable. I wouldn’t say it was swollen. I’ve checked for lumps and any other symptoms but I don’t have any. Bar a slight discharge from my nipples. But it’s so small I can’t tell if it’s clear or milky. This discharge is also in my other breast too and it only happens if I squeeze it. I stopped breastfeeding 7 months ago so I’m not sure if it’s the last remnants from that.
Its also worth noting that I have just finished my period as I know it could be a hormonal change (I’m 43) or it could be a symptom of perimenopause?
Is it possible to have breast cancer with just an enlarged breast and no other symptom?
I’m a worrier so I will obviously book a GP appointment but I just wondered if anyone else had the same thing?

(I’ve posted on the Cancer board but thought I’d get more traffic here)
