Breast Pain and getting very worried now...

Hi there

 

I am no stranger to this site having been on a bit of a roller coaster so far this year. I am sure many of you will recognise my name.

 

Anyway, this breast pain is not wanting to go away. I have a few days when it seems to be absent, then a day or evening when it kicks in. It has been so up and down it has been hard to know just what to do as my GP confidently sent me away when I saw her about it on July 10th. It all started in May so I am now getting very worried.

 

Anyway, I am trying to get in to see my doctor again today as I was awoken in the early  hours with sharp pains around my nipple area and down the side of my right breast. It is okay at the moment whilst I am typing and it is so random it is getting very confusing. I am even having the odd twinge in my left breast (the one that’s okay) and getting even more confused! I am hoping this time she may feel the need to refer me as I know I will never stop worrying unless it is now checked. I have read on here about the ‘sneaky’ ductal and lobular cancer and I am flushing just thinking about it as it will have been just over four months now since it all started.

 

Sorry I keep writing on here but I feel so alone with all this. My husband is not a good man (a long story), my son is busy living and working in London and my daughter has 5 children (two are still babies) so I do not want to bother them and I only have my husband, who, as you can imagine, is really uncaring and I find it really hard.

 

Sorry to burden you all with this and I know we all have difficulties. I just feel so alone.

 

Thank you for reading this. Hopefully I can get to the docs this afternoon.

Hi Bassplayer

Sorry that you havent received a response yet, I can hear how concerned you are about your symptoms.  I see that you have posted to the nurses previously and it is really OK to post another or follow up question for them if that would help you.  We also have a really great Helpline where you can talk to one of our nurses about your symptoms and fears.  

You may also want to consider posting in the previous thread that you had started?  A sort of update on where you are now?  This will probably reach the people who you have been ‘talking’ to before.

In the meantime, take care

Best wishes
