Depression In Breast / chest Wall Posted: 05-31-07 13:16pm
I am 35, no children, with multiple benign
cysts in both breasts and was diagnosed
w/PCOS 1996. Lump biopsy 2004 was benign.
History of bc on both sides of family
(Paternal: Father’s sister was
hormone-induced, no mast. Maternal:
Mother’s sister had lobular requiring
double mast.).
Nine months ago, I discovered a depression
on the interior bottom quadrant of left
breast, approx. 1 inch long, with a very
defined ridge (almost like a cake after
someone sneaks a fingerful of frosting).
I had a regular mammo, followed by an
ultrasound and then a very extensive mammo
(over 15 views). Doctors determined it to
be nothing of concern and started hormone
therapy (Norinyl). I also cut all
caffeine out of my diet.
Since then, the “ridge” has increased
in length (not in width) to about 3 ½
inches long, following the curve of the
breast and covering the entire interior
bottom quadrant. Also, over the last two
months, I’ve been experiencing
occasional stabbing and shooting pain in
both breasts, along with increased
tenderness.
It feels to me that my breast is detaching
from my chest wall. There don’t seem to
be any abnormal growths but this is not
normal. Any suggestions or information
would be appreciated.
Thanks.

Get a new doctor who will take your
concerns seriously. This sounds like
something you need to have looked at right
away.
