I don’t know what to do. Terrified.

I have previously posted in the not diagnosed thread. I am 36 years old and 4mo postpartum and have due to breast concerns stopped breastfeeding. I have two indents, puckering areas below my left breast. I have had a 3D mammogram and two separate ultrasounds specifically of the lower inner quadrant of my left breast both clear I have heterogeneously dense breast. I first went to my ob who referred me to a BS regarding it. I apparently need to be flexing or bending over to best show the indentations and overhead light does not help. Everyone I have seen so far says they are having difficulty replicating what I have been able to capture in pictures. The BS has placed a order for a MRI which I will need to pay for out of pocket. I have read that Breastmilk can effect imaging so have am trying to dry it up prior to paying such a high expense.

I can't look in the mirror anymore. It's all I think about. I have read very alarming and just plan depressing information about Pregnancy and Postpartum associated Breast Cancer. That it tends to be very aggressive with low survival rates.

I don't know what to do. Waiting for my milk to dry up or not? My BS seemed to honestly brush me off about it. Said come back if it's still there after breastfeeding, and get a new ultrasound and mammogram in 6mo.

I just want a clear answer as to what is going on cause my anxiety is in overdrive.

I think I would have been better if I had not noticed a second puckering on the outer inner of my left breast. This was seen after my appointment with the BS. I sent him a message about it with not much response. I feel like the boy who cry's wolf.

So long story short, is it advisable to wait. Will milk cause issue with a MRI?
