Breast Cancer Now Forum

Hello to old friends if they are still on here and also to anyone who has joined since I was last active (I went through one site upgrade and at my last panic they were upgrading this site again and now we have another one - you guys are busy at BCC !!!)   Worried again as I have noticed that the end of my nipple in my "good breast" has gone pink, feels sore and my breast feels uncomfy at night - been like this since saturday.   Have my regular checkup with the onc this coming Friday but mamo and eco and x-ray are 3 months old (takes ages to get the apointment here where I live in Spain) so I am going to pay for a private mamo and eco to take with me so at least the onc has up to date info.   Really angry right now as I just don't want to my life intereferred with like this - I have a great summer planned !   OH went to the dentist for some root canal treatment and am feeling it hard to be sympathetic - I would glady swap a few teeth right now for some good news. Not fair of me really - I know that. Antibiotics do make you feel lousy and tired at first ....   Am in a panic and it may be nothing to worry about but you know how it is .... did a quick internet search and found things relating to breast feeding and erotica hardly helpful ....    Am writing on here as I have to tell someone and like to keep all of this very private. If anyone has any info to share (good or bad) would be grateful.   Good luck one and all FizBix xx   ... View more

or may not if you are not like me but i thought i would share .... i had bc in 2007 now out the other side if it all -just had a nasty scare but all seems fine this time well.... when i had bc i stayed inthe closet - the major advantage of this was avoiding all the stress caused by the questions that people ask . i am sure genuine concern but them asking you questions does not help. no way i only told 4 people .... one of those asked the really great question "so whats's stopping you getting it in the other breast" i am not a violent person but i have to admit she came close to a clonk the other thing was the buses "anyone can get runover by one" incase you didnt't know already ........ the funny thing is we don't have a bus service here and i miss them!!!! so doubly insulting .... in my view the best thing to do is as follows ... tell almost noone you may have a problem .... don,t search the internet . it doesn't tell you anything about your own case ..... read the stories on this site and share with peopel onhere- far better as we are all in the same boat. anything is doable ....... don't let anyone ask you questions you don't know answers to . it freaks you out and you don't want a heart attack just now .......... always remember - even if treatment might be scary .... having no treatment is a lot more scary than that good luck, thiink pleasant thoughts, my cats helped a lot, we are all different but if this has helped someone then it was worth writing ...
