Hello everyone!

Wow it's been a long time since I haven't been on this site and I see some of you are still here wow. Most of you may not remember me I had breast cancer and lumpectomy about three years ago with about 12 or 13 limph nodes removed 

My cancer was very small it was A1, But my surgeon felt it was better for me to have those limph nodes removed even though they did not have cancer they were reactive to whatever they inject I don't remember the name. Had radiation after surgery, Everything is been well, my mammograms have been normal all my bloodwork have been normal but about a month ago I started having pain on the same breast but on the other side of the surgery, my surgery was on the left breast on the outside right next to my armpit. But now I have pain on the opposite side. Is that something that I should be worried? I just had an ultrasound today but I'm still really worried the pain comes and goes. Has that happened to anybody long time after lumpectomy and radiation because he never hurt before , i'm so scared ladies.

  • Hello Liliana and welcome back to our forum although I am sorry to hear you have been worried about this pain on the opposite side. 

    I certainly remember you well and it's lovely to hear from you again. It's good that you have had this looked at and had an ultrasound and I hope you won't have to wait too long for your results. Everything tightly crossed for you that it turns out to be nothing of concern. Do keep us updated if you get a moment on what they say it is. 

    Hopefully there will be others here who have been through this before so I will now let our members come and say hello and share their experiences with you. 

    Best wishes,

  • Hi Lucie, thank you for responding. Yes I'm happy to be back in the group and yeah it's a little concerned but I also think could be my rheumatoid arthritis. I get pains all over nerve pain some muscle pain so I'm hoping it's just that. Just waiting to hear from others and see if that happened to anyone else. Thank you for responding stay safe love you guys
