Full ache and tingling in left breast

Hi

I am awaiting chemotherapy and test results for HER positive or negative. I have stage II grade III breast cancer. I am experiencing a dull ache and tingling where the lump is in my breast. Has anyone else experienced this before any treatment? Is it the tumour moving around and pressing on a nerve. It comes and goes throughout the day.

Thank you

  • Hello Sandradee

    I'm sorry to hear that you're dealing with some aches and discomfort in your breast. It's understandable that you're feeling anxious about this particularly as you're still waiting for results so that your treatment can begin. 

    I'd suggest calling your breast care nurse. I'm sure that they will be able to give you some reassurance about this ache and hopefully, they will be able to let you know when you will hear some more news. 

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

    I hope that things settle and improve for you soon. 

    Best wishes,
