i'm new to this sight, I have had a diagnosis of left sided breast cancer, I'm going back next week to the clinic to discuss a plan, I'm suffering left sided rib pain, is this common???
I'm sorry to hear about your recent diagnosis. It's understandable that you're feeling concerned about things at the moment.
It's not uncommon to become aware of more aches and pains after a diagnosis and it's possible if you've only recently had tests such as a mammogram or MRI that the discomfort that you're experiencing may be connected to that. Getting into some fairly uncomfortable positions causes more strain than we realise sometimes.
It's good to hear that you have an appointment with the team coming up this week so if things haven't settled then do mention it to them. I'm sure they will be able to give you some reassurance about the situation.
If you'd like to talk to one of our team of nurses you're most welcome to give them a call. They're available Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm on 0808 800 4040.
