Question is it myth or fact ??? I had breast cancer last year and had pain in the breast before diagnosis

Hi everyone

was wondering if it’s myth or fact

lots of people say if there’s pain it can’t be cancer

but I had pain before diagnosis was just wondering on anyone else experience. Not sure why I want to no I’m long finished treatment just curious.

thank you in advance xx

Hello Lara , yes I have heard that as well. Did you bang your breast ? They say trauma can cause cancer too .

Speak soon xx

Just before my diagnosis my dog who is a tiny chihuahua jumped across me and pushed my booby and it absolutely killed , that was a sign to me something wasn’t right , but when speaking to people before my diagnosis they were saying it can’t be cancer cause you got pain , was just wondering about other people xx
