Ongoing Pain
Hi! I was diagnosed with early breast cancer 11years ago, and went onto have a lumpectomy, radiation therapy, and hormone therapy. I recently had my yearly scans, and all came back okay. YAY! I still get daily pain in the affected breast where the cancer was, is this a situation that others get, is it a common long term side effect? I don't see my oncologist any more, but maybe I should arrange a check in, or at least speak with my GP? Wondering what others experience. Hugs to all😀431ViewsSign in to react to this post5Comments
New pain - other breast - hypochondriac?
Do we all turn into hypochondriacs with every new pain? Or is it just me? :( So last Thurs my right breast (my left was treated) suddenly became really itchy in 1 spot and then I got sharp stabbing pains in that 1 spot, lasted a few hours on and off. Intermittent stabby pains on fri morning so sent a msg to my BCN (this is a new 1 ive never met) and she phoned me late Fri afternoon and said to monitor for 2 wks but she would mention it to surgeon to see if my imaging (due oct) should be brought forward. Saturday no pains, Sun a few and this morning a few, all stabby, all in exact same spot. I know most literature says cancer isn't painful but I'm sure quite a few of us can assure them that it is! Last time I had bruise like pain for 5 days then a lump and a wk later a huge node. Am I being silly to not want to wait 2wks like she said? Am I over reacting? Will it always be like this, thinking the worst at every twinge? Sorry for long boring post xx804ViewsSign in to react to this post23Comments
