Hi I was recently diagnosed with BC, I am 31years of age, and trying to find a oncologist and Dr. I recently moved from Texas were I was diagnosed at to L.A. So been very hard had to start over. Well I been getting lots of sharp pain feels like someone putting nails around affected breast. I wanted to see if there are any home or cheap remedies I can do at home? I take ibuprofen but still hurts. So any advice will help. Thank you.
Of course it still hurts - you’re walking around with cancer in your breast. I don’t know anything really about the US health system, but you really need to get yourself a new doctor and oncologist as soon as physically possible and start treatment. The longer you leave it, the worse things will get.
I wish you the very best of luck, but please stop thinking you can deal with it at home. You need professional treatment NOW. x
Dear Samantha,
Welcome to the forum. Guidelines and treatments are different in the US from here in the UK so you may find it helpful to look at this US based website. It is a similar charity to Breast Cancer Care but bigger! Here is the link:
Very best wishes
