Hi everyone , I’m 44 recently diagnosed with Breast cancer DCIS and also hormone positive . Its in my lymph nodes aswell . Had CT , Bone Scan and MRI . I’m back on Tuesday to find out results . I’m freaked out having pain in the middle of my back and kept thinking it’s spread . Everyone says it’s stress . I’m fairly healthy never smoked . Just wondering has anyone any advice please . Xx

    Hello BigJean,

    just to say I think it’s really common to feel every pain/itch or whatever is cancer. Once we hear that word it’s very hard to stop it taking over your life. 

    I have recently completed radiotherapy treatment and have had a persistent pain in my ribs for a while. Today I realised I hadn’t got it!! I honestly think it was psychosomatic. Had a similar pain before I knew what my treatment path would be and again during the time I awaited my onco test results. So in my case tension and anxiety certainly resulted in physical pain. I suspect the pain in your back is similar. 

    Hoping trratment goes well for you  in these awful covid times.

    Go well.
