Hi everyone, I am new here.... I just want some advice if that's ok??

 

so... my mum has recently been diagnosed with Ovarian cancer stage 4 and now I am incredibly paranoid, I have had a pain off and on in my breast since December along with pains in shoulder blade. I have been to the doctor and they said there is no lumps... should I still be worried?? 

  • Hello Aworriedgirl

    I'm sorry to hear about your Mum's recent diagnosis. Undoubtedly this will be a difficult time for you and it's understandable that you're feeling anxious about your own health. 

    It's good to hear that you've already seen your GP about the symptoms that you've been experiencing and that they didn't have any immediate cause for concern. 

    Typically breast cancer isn't associated with pain but if things don't settle then do go back to your GP again for some further advice and support. 

    If you'd like to chat things through with one of our nurses you're welcome to call them on 0808 800 4040, Monday to Friday 9 am to 5 pm. 

    Best wishes,
