Very sore left breast

Hi, im awaiting to go to the breast clinic as went to GP last week with sore left breast.  She's referred me and I've got an appointment in 10 days.  My breasts have always been quite lumpy and get very sore before my periods.  However, the pain started just after my last period this time and hasn't gone away.  The left breast has a burning pain through most of it and is bigger than the right.  Has anyone else had this pain without an obvious lump and it's been cancer? I'm 52 next week and have young children and can't sleep or think straight at the moment.  

  • Hi there ...

    I know the waiting for tests is overwhelming ... it sends the brain into panic mode and then the what ifs creep in .. but 9 out of 10 lumps are o.k ... my first four call backs from mamorgrams were all clear ... and the ache could be you feeling for a lump... 

    There's lots of us breast lasses on here .... and it has come a long way ... so even if it is a positive result .. it's not an easy route but it's doable ... so don't give up hope your one of the 9 ... l know it's easier said then done but try to stay focused on today ... wait for results ... then you'll get there ...

    Fingers crossed for you ... Chrissie x

  • I've got the exact same thing nipple pain in the left breast but no lump  , im going to my g.p in the morning.  ive already had breast cancer in 2017 in my right breast i had a mastectomy and i thought i was done with it all now, but the last time there was no pain in the nipple just a lump in the side of my breast... i wish you the best of luck and hopefully all will be ok.  breast cancer is horrible but it is doable there are a lot of us ladies on here who have got through it .. 

  • Hi I'm 21 and I Worry a lot I have lumpy breasts but my left one has had shooting pains init sometimes that come and go and I've been given ibrufen gel by the doctor I was checked in December and I was okay but I think my left breast has got a bit bigger than my right and it's sore at the top near my left side of the breast I'm a worrier and just need some reassurance does this sound like it's breast cancer or could it be something to do with hormonal change, my periods have never really been regular and I'm late the now?

  • Hi yeah it's too do with when my period is due I don't think you should be concerned unless you find a lump xx
