Breast cancer core biopsy

I had a core biopsy carried out two weeks ago, and have been diagnosed with a small 5mm cancer. However since the biopsy I have experienced some discomfort in the breast.  It feels tingly, sometimes hot, but isn’t to the the touch. I’m not in pain as such but it just feels a bit odd. Achy more than anything I suppose. 

 Whereas before the biopsy I felt no pain at all. The puncture mark has gone, as has the bruising so I don’t think it’s infected. But wondered if this was normal. Could nerves have been touched and the reason for these feelings. 

  • Hi, this sounds totally normal, it's only been 2 weeks since you had it done, mine didn't have much time to settle, I went in pretty quickly for a lumpectomy....

    5mm is very small, you'll soon be on a treatment plan....x

     

  • Hi,

    Give the Nurses a phone call just to check and put your mind at rest,it’s probably all ok but get it checked you’ve got enough on your mind with adding more worry..... like you mine was fine after,can’t remember if I had tingling but maybe where your biopsy was taken it’s near a nerve?

    phone them lovely and don’t suffer in silence...

    hugs Jackie xx
