I was recently diagnised with Mondor’s Thrombosis of left breast. I am a 66 year old female breast cancer survivor. About 1.5 years ago I began to have significant pain in my left breast (had mastectomy on right side 18 years ago due to invasive ductile carcinoma). I have seen several doctors, including a breast surgeon. I finally got a diagnosis two weeks ago but am really struggling with pain. I have trouble sleeping on my left side. I was told to take 325 mg asprin 2X daily and apply heat to the left breast at least one hour per day. I am to see the doctor again in about 3 weeks for follow up. I have done a lot of research on the internet to find out the history of this condition. Apparently VERY little is known. Everything I read says that this condition resolves itself after several weeks. Since I have had the pain for over a year, I am wondering if something else is going on?
Thanks for any responses.
