This must be a tough time for you both this Is probably nothing just the natural age progression I can sympathise at 53 something is always aching knees neck back so on and so on!!! my advice would be to phone the breast clinic where your mum had her treatment and there will be a bc nurse there to give you some advice please try to to worry and stay strong, mum must be very proud she has such a caring young lady as a daughter 🙂 ...

I had shoulder pain which was unconnected and was from an old injury I also had stabbings pains which I've been told it's normal they really do rummage around in there, take painkillers but if it begins to feel hot or swells I suggest you contact your bc nurse mine has eased now I'm about ten weeks down the line from you and occasionally still get them, now the nightmares are also normal I believe it's your body trying to process and understand what has been a traumatic time these too will lessen in time, I find it helps to come on here and ask advice from the experienced ladies that between them have more knowledge than some medical professionals hope this helps good luck and stay strong 🙂 ...

Congratulations you must be over the moon! It's so nice to hear good news, I have no real advice other than I am about to start radiotherapy for IDC and have chosen to remain off work and have been since diagnosis in April but I am lucky to work for the nhs and am on full pay for six months. As it's a daily treatment I can imagine that backwards and forwards to the hospital and working may prove to be extremely tiring although it's said that the tiredness takes a couple of weeks to make itself apparent I believe that your good health comes first, you can never tell how it will affect you as an individual some I hear seem to sail through it others don't think carefully before you commit to returning but it all depends on your financial situation hope this helps and good luck with the rads 🙂 ...

I was very calm during the whole process some sixth sense told me it was bad news so I decided there was no point worrying about it but on a lighter note I also knew that it would all come right in the end good luck 🙂 ... View more

I'm sorry you've had this happen I waited about a month for my appt at my local breast clinic it probably varies depending on where you live but generally I think a month is average easier said than done I know but try not too worry fill the time with anything and everything and come back here if you need any questions answered or ring the bc helpline if you'd rather talk to somebody good luck:) ...

I too was diagnosed with grade 2 IDC on the 4th April have since undergone WLE and SLNB no nodes or vascular invasion and start my rads on the 3rd of July all has been straightforward so far, when you have your treatment plan organised you will feel in control beware tho there is an awful lot of waiting hope all goes Ok good luck hunni 🙂 ...
