I am sorry if I have scared you, I have posted the helpline as I know they can support you not because I think it points to something bad, please be reassured by that and if you feel you can call at some point, please do as it may help you.

Carole,I was told my itchy,sensitive breasts were just hormonal.I was put on HRT for an early menopause in my late thirties.As soon as I was diagnosed with breast cancer I stopped the HRT and the itchiness went overnight! I had a lot of symptoms similar to yours but my doctors were satisfied that they were nothing to do with the BC!
