Help, I’m a little worried

Hi, just looking for a bit of advice really. I’ve had a pretty bad viral throat infection and cough which has cleared up but I’ve not got rid of the cough yet. For the last couple of weeks I’ve been getting a bad pain under my left shoulder blade and it’s goes round under my armpit and the side of my breast and rib cage. It’s very sore esp at night and under my breast is sore too. I was sent for an X-ray today and have to wait three weeks for results but having read on the internet and some forums it keeps coming up with the same thing which is breast cancer. I’m so very worried because of where the pain is and it doesn’t seem to be going awat. I don’t think I can find a lump, my aunt and another family member have just been diagnosed with cancer, one stage three and the other has triple negative which is very aggressive. Just looking for some advice really. Thanks 

  • Hi there

    reading your post I get that the Drs aren't going down the breas cancer route otherwise you would be sent to the breast clinic. I take it they took an x-ray to look at your lungs for infection? certainly pain could be radiating from the lungs to back, armpit etc.

    There is no point looking at the internet for answers, only the Drs will be able to give you them. I wouldnt be jumping to conclusions, I know how hard it is to wait for results but I know if they saw anything urgent on the x-ray you would not be allowed just to walk out of the hospital. Try not to worry too much
