Oncotype test

Went for ultrasound found a cyst so that's the pain but still waiting results .

Always check out something that’s nagging at you - not because it may be a problem, but because it is a problem as long as you fear it might be! Even at a difficult time of the year, making an appointment to get something checked can, in itself, relieve that all too common anxiety. As others have said, sudden twinges along scar tissue are quite frequent, years after surgery. Best wishes for a speedy resolution. 

Mine was 7yrs ago. Very agressive 2.5cm. I had a single mastectomy, no radiation as there was nothing left there to radiate and the consensis at the time was 15% value in chemo. I went for the chemo to make absolutely sure I never had to go through breast cancer again. So far it has worked.
As to the pain, yes I have phantom oh my gosh that hurt, what was that, pains too. They don't seem to hang around and its fleeting so I figure its either nerve damage or since its the same side as my heart a bit of a twinge. I also have lymphodema since they took all my lymph nodes out of the armpit. Most of the time I can get away with just exercise and manual lymph drain massage but it sometimes backs right up to the tendon in the front of the shoulder which can radiate across the chest. None of my pains are constant though and while some can be acute and invoke a bit of Tourettes language at the time, its all good and goes back to my new normal.

You'll be right, @Pommy8 ... just keep notes of anything that concerns you & raise them with the BC Nurse and/or Surgeon/GP when you see them. xx

take care, Happy New Year

Ok thanks I'm scaring myself.
It's mainly at night when I lie on my side..
I'm prodding also can't feel anything.
Just worried as had radiation now hormone tablet plus op to remove and oncoytype test saying no chemo as cancer so small 8mm.
Finished radiation mid October and started hormone tablet 3 weeks later.

Agree with above - if something doesn’t seem right get it checked out - if you have a breast care nurse I would start there .

We can all offer reassurance but as Arpie said, if in doubt get it checked out

Nerve pain is common, 7 years along and I still get pain in the affected breast

Take a deep breath, monitor the discomfort,  where, when and how long it lasts and seek medical advice

Take care

@Pommy8 -  It is possibly just nerve pain as they 'reconnect' ..... but if you are really concerned - I think you should have a chat with someone & see if your Surgeon's appt can be brought forward (usually you see them 12 months after the surgery) - I know that my surgeon has an ultrasound machine in his rooms & always does one on me when he sees me (my 5 year check will be in Feb.)

Do you have a breast care nurse?  Maybe have a chat to her - she may be able to get you checked out sooner than later.  Keep in mind that many/most surgeons have at least the first 2 weeks of Jan off on Holidays .... 

My motto is:

If in doubt, get checked out.

Take care & all the best.

Reason asking I've now got a slight pain near where I has my breast cancerand scared it's returned .

I've had the test and thankfully I didn't need chemo.
But wondering if anyone had been told they didn't need chemo and cancer returned.
