I had a mastectomy on my left breast in February. I have had chemotherapy and radiotherapy. My treatment finished mid Septmber so felt relieved all over. Today a friend gave me a big hug and I have now got a lot of pain in my right breast. I have been meticulous in checking this breast and can find no lump or mass. As it’s a Friday i know it would be impossible to get a Drs appointment. Am I just being paranoid??? Would welcome some replies please.
I had left mx in January. I have had really sharp pain in the scar a couple of times and mentioned it at follow up. Surgeon said it is due to nerves being cut during surgery. It was quite alarming at the time, like an electric shock but was told it is nothing to worry about. The slightest twinge or ache still freaks me out so I do sympathise. You are not being paranoid it is natural to worry after all we have been through but it is probably nothing and will go away on its own.
