Burning sensation in right breast very scared

Hello everyone, 

im 11 days away from having my appointment at the breast clinic,I'm 35 and with no children.  The last 5 months I've had a burning/tingling sensation on my right breast, specifically in one area top right in line with my armpit. I've seen 5 doctors and they have all examined my breast and said they cannot feel anything, however when I'm home the pain and sensation is constantly their. I'm convinced I can feel a lump but it may just be a lymph node that I keep squeezing. I have a pain in my right shoulder blade and my legs have started aching and feeling so heavy. I'm constantly crying and anxious. No pain medication helps and nothing takes away the sensation. I'm convinced I have breast cancer and even more so convinced I've left it so long that it's now spread. My mum was diagnosed with womb cancer around the time this pain started and suffered a catastrophic stroke after surgery. I'm so stressed out and exhausted. I can deal with more heartache and I just want this to be okay. Has anyone else had these feelings in their breast? It's just the one breast! And underneath has severely sharp tissue pain.  Thank you in advance for any responses. All my love lil

  • Hi there

    I'm glad you have been referred to the breast clinic. I would take comfort in the fact that you have been examined by experts who cannot feel anything, although not all breast cancers produce a lump but those ones would produce other symptoms that you do not have. 

    Your mum's situation must have had a profound impact on you and brought with it a lot of stress and anxiety, this can manifest itself in all sorts of ways, not just mentally but physically too.

    I think most women have lumps and bumps in their breasts as well as pain and tingling sensations - I know I did/do, but you've made a giant leap from what is considered normal/hormonal to thinking its breast cancer.  Hopefully, the specialists at the breast clinic will have some answers for you and bring some peace of mind. x
