Hi,

Sorry.  I'm not even sure if I should be posting this here.

I've had a pain for around 10-12 weeks.  It's a sharp pain in my left breast behind the nipple.  It only hurts when pressure is applied so belly sleeping is now a no no and I struggle to carry things.  I believe the pain has got worse over the last week.  It's a really sharp pain, that makes me finch and hold my breath.  Definitely not the usual period type boob pain.  Sometimes I still feel a burning feeling afterwards.

The GP checked me over and agreed that the left breast does feel different to the right and referred me for a scan.  She said I would be seen within 2 weeks but that was 3 weeks ago and I still haven't been given a date. 

I called to chase but they just told me that breast pain isn't usually a sign of cancer but I would be sent a scan date soon.

I have googled and googled but there doesn't seem to be anything relating to this kind of pain.  

The waiting and not knowing is really affecting me now.  It's all I think about.

I guess what I really want to know is, is there anyone else here that's had breast cancer with this type of pain as a symptom or what else it could be.

Thank you for reading. Sorry for the essay.
