Hi Everyone
Hope you are all doing as well as poss-I didnt think Id be back on here, but have a wee problem I hope Ill get some advice on from you BCC er’s.
I had BC in Oct 09, MX then a recon with a TRAM in July 2011. Ive developed over the weekend, a hot painful breast on the recon side. It reminds me of when I was breast feeding and has mastitis. I think that you can only get this if you have milk ducts etc.
Any ideas ladies or has anyone experienced the same symtoms.

Hi cathie,
That does not sound like fun. Phone your BCN on Monday - it may be nothing, but you need to get this checked out ASAP. I hope the pain is not too bad.
Warmest wishes

I get the same thing and it turns out to be hormonal, every 4 weeks, not sure if it’s the same thing
