  • Hello Mac90

    I'm sorry to hear that you're experiencing some ongoing breast pain. It sounds from your post like it's been a really difficult time, and it's understandable that you're feeling anxious about this.

    I'd really encourage you to talk with your GP and/or breast care nurse. Explain that you're struggling to accept that this pain is nothing to be worried about, and that's because you feel that previously your concerns weren't taken seriously. It may be that they are able to arrange an ultrasound or a further appointment that can give you the reassurance you need. 

    If it would help to chat things through with one of our team of nurses, you're welcome to give them a call. I know they will be happy to listen and offer any advice, information and support they can. If you'd like to talk with them, they're available Monday to Friday, 9am to 5pm on 0808 800 4040. 

    I do hope that you can get the reassurance you need soon and that someone can help to get the pain resolved. 

    Best wishes,
