Metastasis to the lung

HI I have Metastasis to my lung after having a  breast cancer in both breasts and they were different primary cancers the one was TN  and now twice in my lung that are also TN , my question is does anyone else get pain or an aching feeling in the area where the cancer is I also find it hard to lay on that side on sit properly now because it hurts all the time. Back in December I had a wedge taken from my lung could it be that which is causing the problem no one will give a clear answer just that the pain will go when you have your chemo. I have been put on oral chemo cape and won't know if its working until beginning of September. I was first diagnosed with breast cancer in 2012 than 2016 followed by 2017 and now may this year. I have also had blood clots on the same lung twice and on tinzaparin for life .

  • Hello Dash-123,

    Hopefully someone else who has the kind of pain you describe will come and share their experience with you. It sounds like you have already mentioned this to your medical team but if you feel this pain is persisting and causing you a lot of discomfort, it may be worth bringing it up again at your next appointment and mentioning that it hurts constantly and perhaps they will be able to prescribe something that will alleviate the pain.

    Our nurses are also available on this free number 0808 800 4040 if you live in the UK and want to talk things through with them - their helpline is open Monday to Friday from 9am to 5pm. 

    I hope the discomfort eases soon!

    Best wishes,
