Breast puckering

Hi all, you were so amazingly lovely last year when I had a breast scare and unfortunately I find myself here again. 

Today whilst doing my normal breast check I did something different, stupid really as I wasn’t aware that this is actually what should be done! But I stretched both arms up and looked in the mirror at my boobs! What I saw really frightened me as I realised that on the lower inner part of my left boob I have a puckering that I can only see with my arms stretched up, of course I stupidly googled and scared myself upon realising that it’s actually a symptom of breast cancer. And actually stretching arms up reveals puckering that wouldn’t be seen otherwise… if only I’d known this Pensive 

I have private healthcare and have an appointment tomorrow evening with a breast specialist, but I really am angry and scared- angry that this could have been there for ages (last scans last May) and obviously anxious about what this could be. 

Sorry to vent, sending love and a big hug to all xx 

  • Hi  , sorry you find yourself back here. But glad you have an appointment tomorrow so you can find out if there’s anything sinister going on. I hope you are here on a temporary pass and that it turns out to be something benign. Either way, the lovely community here will be with you. And it’s always a great place to vent! Sending love and a big virtual hug, HFxx
