Q: dimple in breast

I had a mamogram done and the breast with the dimple they did not find anything , but the other breast they found something but they are not to concern they said to come back in 6 months , they said since I haven't had a mamogram to go off of it is kind of hard to know what it really is ! This really doesn't make to much since to me ! Thanks Carrie

Hi Carrie - Congrats for noticing that dimple and getting a mammogram. Since they say that nothing shows, I'd guess you take their word for it; though you might want to ask for an ultrasound or MRI as a followup, if you're very concerned. And the same with what they think they see on the other breast. You can either wait the six months, if you're not a big worrier. Or you can ask for an immediate followup - ultrasound or MRI. Good luck - PJH

when I had my mamogram they seen something and rushed me next door to have a ultrasound but they weren't sure what it was to come back in 6 months , I'm trying not to worry but I had cancer when I was 24 now at 35 it is even more scarier Carrie.

hello Carrie,

given your prior cancer history you might want to ask them for a biopsy just to make sure. i am not a medical professional so cannot advise you medically but it does sound like a good idea to me to give your breasts a little extra concern.

Good luck
