TERRIFIED

[Mistress27]

First off, I will start by letting you know that I have a strong family history of breast cancer.  My maternal grandmother died of breast cancer at the age of 44 & my mother had advanced breast cancer at the age of 29, and then died at 43 of ovarian cancer.  Needless to say, I am terrified to begin with of my own chances.  Recently (in the past two weeks, I have noticed a slight indentation on my left breast close to the outer side of the aeriola.  It is a little morer pronounced when I first wake up, and by the end of the day, it seems to "fill out" or something.  I do have bumpy breast tissues on the outer sides of both breasts, but there is more of it on the left breast.  I go in for a mammogram with ultrasound on the 20th of August.  I am just so scared...I hope someone can tell me it will be alright!

Thank you soo much for your nice post, and i reall appreciate the prayer also :)  It extremely hard not to think about it!  I think I look at it 20 times a day (which makes me think more, and ultimately makes my breast look worse.)

Thanks again for your kindness!

You are doing the right thing by getting a mammogram and ultrasound. With your family history that is very important. Try not to worry too much between now and then..I know, impossible. But your indentation and filling out don't sound like cancer. If it was a lump, it wouldn't come and go like you describe. Good luck, and please post results. I'll say a prayer for you.
