Hi Pepesmama and Claire,,

Will be thinking of you both.

Kind regards,

Jolamine xx

Hope you are well ️ Did you have aching symptoms x

Hi Jojonrbrad,

Yes my only symptom was a very aching breast, similar to those you get on a monthly cycle but constant. No lumps or discolouration or change of shape. Are you experiencing similar? Have you been to doctors and then breast clinic? 
 

My diagnosis was 10 months ago now, and after a mastectomy with immediate diep reconstruction and 3 weeks of radiotherapy in September, I am now clear. It's was a scary time and still not fully (mentally) digested it all. 
 

Hope you are ok and like previous members say - please don't google anything and wait for your official diagnosis.

How kind of you to reply. 
I am so happy to read your fantastic news  

although I do understand the fear cancer puts into you takes more getting over than anything  

how old are you if you don't mind me asking  

i am 31 years old. 
I started about five weeks ago with under arm aching. 
I thought oh my glands are up, I bet I'm gettin a bit of cold etc. 
it has gone on & worsened overnight time into the side of my breast, and now side and underneath. 
it isn't a pain.... it's a constant ache. And feels bruised to touch. 
it might just be me, but I can feel different lumps and bumps in my boobs... always have done. 
I am going to the gp in the morning. 
 

I have sort of ignored it a bit because when you research on internet it's say breast cancer is painless. But I have read on here that is not always the case. 
 

.... and in all honesty it has been a standing joke at work that I am constantly ill(this has only been over the last 12 months!) like with coughs and colds and ear infections..... but I have put it down to stress and worry, my mum has just recovered from Bowel cancer surgery and chemo.... and honestly it has affected me soooo bad, the fear of the unknown and worry I actually thought I had run myself down. 
 

But this in my boob is very achy. I cannot lay on it, also I cannot wear no bra (like you do in your own house) because it's like an even more dragging aching.

i am calling for an appointment tomorrow at gp

sending you lots and lots of love  

well done!!! 

thank you sooo much for your reply. 

Hi Jojonrbrad,

Welcome to our forum. I am so sorry to hear about  the symptoms you have with your breast and underarm.

It is always sensible to get examined by your GP. When you have already ignored this for a while, ask for an emergency appointment when you phone tomorrow. You may need to tell the receptionist why you need this, but this should mean that you don't have the usual long wait to be seen.

If your GP suspects anything at all suspicious you will be referred to the breast clinic, where they will carry out tests to discover whether or not there is anything untoward present. You are right that cancer isn't usually accompanied by pain, but pain is still present in some cases. There are a number of potential reasons for your symptoms and many of them are less serious than cancer. It is also a fact that only 1 person in every 8 referred to the breast clinic will turn out to have breast cancer, so the odds are good for you.

Please keep in touch and let us know how you get on. We are always here for you.

Kind regards,
Jolamine xx

I'm sat waiting in the doctors now, will let you know.
