I’m 38 years old and a Mum to 2 boys. I was diagnosed with fibroadenoma 3 years ago. My breasts are very lumpy and usually swell and are painful before my period. Since Easter I’ve had some strange pain in what I thought was my chest (like a burning pain deep inside like I’d pulled a muscle) I moved house around this time so assumed it could be that but went to gp who checked me over. My last period my breasts were really swollen and painful. I’m due on my period again next week and for 2 weeks I’ve had almost unbearable constant pain in my left breast, I have a lump (where the fibroadenoma lump is)  and also pain to the side of my breast, I feel a strange numb feeling constantly going down my left arm beyond my elbow. I went to my gp last Monday who has referred me to the breast clinic at my local hospital. I’m worried sick and keep panicking, I had skin cancer 2 years ago which hasn’t helped my anxiety....I’m thinking the worst as I’ve never had symptoms like this. You can clearly see one breast is bigger than the other. Has anyone else had symptoms like this? 

Thank you for reading and strength and best wishes to anyone who is fighting this awful disease xxx
