Pain on left breast but travelling tomorrow

Offline Cla247 over 3 years ago

Hi, I've been having pain on my left breast since Friday. My period is due but I never felt this kind of pain, burning sensation, lumps, tenderness.

I would like to have it checked but I going away tomorrow for a week. Should I be worried? Can it wait? Thank you

Welcome to the forum Cla247 although I'm sorry for the reason you're joining us.
It can be worrying, and scary, when any unusual symptoms appear but try not to panic or think the worst if you can. Always much easier said than done, but there could many reasons why this is happening at the moment, and many of them much less serious than cancer.
Do keep an eye on your symptoms whilst you're away though and if they haven't improved by the time you've got back then do book an appointment with your GP to get this checked as they'll be able to let you know if this is any cause for concern and put your mind at ease.
Kind regards,
