Hi everyone.
I'm 40 and I am so scared I have cancer. Basically I have a line that is slightly indented on my left breast,it runs from just above the nipple and is about 2 to 3 inches long. I don't know how long I've had it as even though I examine myself regularly I never do so infront of the mirror but I think it may have been there over a year but could be wrong. I phoned my doctor yesterday and she was lovely,she said it sounds good that I have no lump,swelling etc but she was however concerned when I told her the line is more visible when my arm is lifted (you can see it all the time but more visible with a lifted arm) i have had problems in the past as my breasts have always felt heavy and achy and I had a scan about 5 or 6 years ago which was normal but they said I had fibrous breast tissue and even now that breast still aches but im more paranoid now and think its cancer. My gp has referred me to the breast clinic but im so scared, have 4 children and im petrified of leaving them behind. My bust is 44dd so they always feel heavy and ache but this line is bothering me and giving me such bad anxiety. I can post a picture if anyone has any advice? My husband also noticed a similar line on my other breast but its not as noticeable as the other one and really have to strain to see it but its definitely there. Has anyone ever had a indented line that turned out to be nothing? Tonight is christmas eve 2020 and I feel like shutting myself away :(
