Painful right breast

Hello, 

So I have very bad pain in my right breast.   It's in the same spot, but I'm not sure if there is a lump or not as it's too painful to press down on and I'm near to tears when I press it. 

Twice in the last week my nipple has been itchy, but then gone away. 

I saw the Dr a month ago and was told to only come back if it stopped me doing anything.   Now if I cuddle my daughter and she knocks it,  it's agony.

When I search  for breast cancer,  it says its unusual to get pain. 

18 months ago  they found a tumour in the other breast that was borderline,  but in the end,  decided it was benign.

I'm worried and not sure what to do next.

  • Get an appointment with GP asap....tell receptionist it's for checking for breast cancer otherwise you'll be waiting maybe weeks for an appointment!   I was not overly concerned my left breast nipple inverted in ever so slightly at odd times, but something told me to get It checked. It all looked fine when I went to GP next day, but she was great...put me on the 2 week max list to be checked at hospital. Ask for that referral if your GP not forthcoming . Within 2 weeks I was at hospital. Saw a consultant first who couldn't feel or see anything either! But, they give you both a mammogram and an ultrasound. They showed there was cancer and they took a biopsy straight away that day. That was all on 26 July '23. Diagnosed with stage 2 lobular cancer ( not a lump but feathery). Found I was HER2 +, so that meant I had chemo with herceptin first ( 6 rounds)finished Jan '24, then mastectomy on 2 Feb and now radiotherapy I'm just finishing 15 rounds. I've got to have a different chemo as last one didn't kill off every bit of live cancer, although hopefully all been removed with mastectomy.It's all the waiting in-between treatments and test results that gets to me. I've accepted all the treatments. Everyone has a different cancer journey, even if it's a similar cancer. It's a weird feeling thinking you're a cancer patient. I lost my hair with chemo but that's never bothered me, maybe cos I'm older. I just want to get through it all. Stay strong and I'd urge you to not delay...get to your GP asap for referral. I'm glad I did. Yours may be nothing, but it will settle your mind to be checked. Let us know on here how you're doing. All the very best to you.xx
