Who to see with new bone pain?

Life after a breast cancer diagnosis Recovering from treatment
1

Hi All

I finished active treatment July (WLE,SNB & 15 Rads) now on Tamoxifen for 10 years. Past couple of weeks I’ve had painful ribs…a patch at the bottom of my ribs. There’s no bruising and I haven’t banged into anything. It aches but hurts when pressed (this week I’ve also started with a dry cough) Now I’m not to worried about it at the minute but if it got any worse who do I see/ring? Do I go to my GP or ring Oncologist?

TIA

Hi Foxy :slight_smile:

 

I had a double mastectomy with immediate reconstruction in November 2014 - no chemo or rads needed. 

 

Since then I’ve managed to scare myself several times with different & new symptoms - including bone pain.

 

I’ve always called and left a message with the Breast Cancer nurse - who usually calls back within a day or so and if she thinks it’s necessary makes an appointment with the consultant x 

 

One thing I’ve learnt is not to keep it to yourself - worrying is pointless :slight_smile: x

Hi Mammycatx

Thanks for replying ?

It’s only been a couple of weeks so I’m not really worried yet lol. ? I just wasn’t sure who to get in touch with, as active treatment has finished am I still under Oncologist or do I have to go to GP to be referred.

Thanks again
