Hi Karlywarlyspider,
I have had 2 bouts of breast cancer in the same breast. These were diagnosed within a year of one another. I had some lymph nodes removed both times and I had pain in the same areas for quite some time afterwards. I suspect that you just need to be patient. If the pain becomes too much, contact your specialist breast care nurse for advice.
Kind regards,

Thanks Jolamine, hope you are doing ok now.
patience isn’t one of my virtues but I guess you just have to ride it out
Hi Karlywarlyspider,
Patience isn't one of my virtues either, but we have to develop some new skills with a cancer diagnosis. I hope that your pain settles soon.
Kind regards,
