Painful or not?

Hi

Having my first chemo on Wednesday. Been experiencing a dull ache and tingling pain in the tumour area. What has confused me is that most posts I have read say that breast cancer is painless.

When I first went to the doctors I was convinced I did not have cancer as my breast was painful. I thought it was a cyst.

 I keep thinking the pain I am having now is the tumour growing and will the chemo ease my pain. Has anyone else experienced this?

Best wishes

  • Hi Sandradee,

    I wanted to send a reply to your post firstly to give it a little boost, so a few more people should see it, and hopefully you'll get some more replies soon - particularly from any others with similar experience to share.

    And also to wish you well for tomorrow. This will of course also be an opportunity to discuss your question and any concerns you have about this.

    We are always here for support if you need it - wishing you all the best,
