  • Hello and thanks for your post,

    I can't say whether the pain is connected to your lump.

    For your own reassurance and as it is a few weeks until your surgery I would go and discuss this with your GP. It is very easy to assume that every ache and pain may be because of your recent diagnosis but this is not always the case. Try not to over think it for now and hopefully when you see your GP they will be able to put your mind at rest.

    If you feel that it would be helpful to chat any of this through with one of the helpline nurses then you are welcome to give us a ring.

    Our number is Freephone 0808 800 4040 and we are here Monday to Friday 9 am to 5 pm.

    All the best,

    Catherine
