Hi, I'm 31 yrs old, and I just got my breast cancer diagnosis today. They're sending me for chemo as it's non-hormone receptive, and they also took a blood sample from my lymph nodes as apparently they're a little swollen. I'm pretty worried now as the left side of my neck (the side of the cancer) is really achy. Has anyone else had any experience like this, or can they offer some advice? I'm terrified that the cancer is spreading through my lymph nodes, and that's what the aching is; or hopefully it's could be because of the needle going into the nodes on that side. I'm praying that's what this ache is!

I'm also having a full body scan sometime in the next week or 2, to see if it's spread. My absolute worst fear would be that it's spread to the brain, as the idea of brain cancer terrifies me, and now with an aching neck, I'm so scared the cancer is travelling there. Sorry if this is a bit rambling, just good to get my thoughts out!
