Breast Pain
Hi everyone,
Just wanted to ask a quick question regarding pain in my boob. I have sharp pain in my nipple, sometimes a burning pain, even wakes me out of my sleep. I did not experience it before diagnosis or during treatment, just after the radiation finished (30 cycles) six weeks ago.
I get other pains but that is usually in the scars, so I can imagine that is nerve damage?
I saw a breast surgeon at the Public Hospital, not the one who did my operation but another one, same old crap. He dismissed it with "pain is normal".
I went to my GP, who felt everything and said all feels okay, no swelling. I have a radiation oncologist appointment in ten days, should I just wait till then, he is the best of the team who treated me.
Or should I make an appointment with the actual breast surgeon? I have a referral to her private rooms instead of the public hospital.
