Breast pain

Ive been suffering with pain in my left breast for the past 4 months or so. Ive seen 3 different doctors and on the third they finally decided to refer me just because of how long it's been going on for. All doctors have had a feel but didn't feel anything. These past few days I have been worrying because my chest has felt very tight and ive been wheezing, could this be linked or simply just hay fever. I went and read about secondary breast cancer and im just terrified. Plus now my back is aching.Im driving myself mad. I can't stop crying I feel so down and fed up. Ive got my appointment at the breast clinic on Thursday, which im also nervous for. I just feel like i really need to talk to someone. A reply would really be much appreciated. 

  • Hi SassyGirl,

    Just wanted to stop by and say hello. I'm sorry you've had this pain and wheezing. Please don't use Dr Google, especially since you've had no diagnosis, as it only makes you worry and feel down. What could make you feel less nervous about Thursday's appointment is to write down all the questions you have to make you feel like you'll come out of there with all the information you wanted.

    It must be difficult but try and put those worries out of your mind and I hope the appointment goes ok.

     I’ve had my appointment today at the breast clinic, it only got to the first stage and she was happy with how my left breast felt. She did a very thorough examination and said they both felt normal and looked fine, she said the pain is more than likely hormonal. There is still part of me that is worrying in case there is still something deep down but I need to try and forget about it now and be reassured that she was a breast specialist from the breast clinic and knows what to look for and knows what she is talking about. 

     

    She did a very thorough deep examination and had a good feel about.
