Painful breast pre treatment

Hi @Afraser thanks for replying, Thats helpful to know that reactions are different. It is a little scary isnt it, when you think about how close you can come to missing things, especially when there is no lump! Due to family history id had scans at a young age that showed I had cystic breasts and so didnt take much notice of this lump. I came that close to not following up on the referal. And what youve said is so true about conjuring things, I am hypervigilant, if Im honest, about any little ache and pain in the area at the moment so theres that. The pain is definitely there, but perhaps its always been there. Thankyou for the wishes and the advice.

@ara I absolutely know what you mean, I dont think I will be sorry to see this breast go...It did a great job feeding my son and now sayonara. My surgeon recommended this path to me when Id initially planned on implant recon and it seemed like a good option I am trusting his judgement that it will be done in a timely manner I guess. Its just all the mental hoo haa that I now have to wrangle with while waiting.
