Hi

I have been suffering left  breast pain since November and last week found indentation on same breast. I had a clear mammogram in Feb 2020. Have my appointment at Breast Clinic tomorrow . Can an indentation being anything other than anything serious ?

  • Hi

    Unfortunately I think you know that we can't really help you with this one.  Only the scans will tell you what's happening. 

    I guess the fact that you have had this pain since November, yet had a clear mammogram in February might suggest that something else is causing the pain and that might be what's causing the indentation. At the Breast Clinic, as they know more about breasts than anyone,  if everything looks ok to them, you could try pushing them to give you an idea what else could be causing the pain/changes in your breast.

    Good luck with everything tomorrow!

    Best wishes, Lesley

    Many thanks for replying. I was hoping someone may be able to give me details of breast indents more so than the pain.

    Thanks again

    Hi Lorra, I would ask for a scan, not to worry you sorry but better to be sure.  I had a indent and the mammogram did not show that I had ILC, it does not form lumps as such and sometimes does not show up on mammo or ultra sound. I had pain as well, like a burning sensation. ILC is more common in women in the 50's. I had clear mammo every year. I hope its nothing but please get them to do a CT if mammo does not show anything. Its all treatable , I have had MX and lymph node clearance. Big hugs.

    Hi

    Just to say I had my breast clinic appt today so pleased that there was no findings. The indentation was nothing to worry about and the breast pain is hormones. Such a relief
