Help

Hi, 

I recently had breast pain like someone was stabbing me and the pain is across my chest: shoulder , armpit and back. I also have a lump right next to my nipple. It's like my nipple has spread side ways.  It's not an obvious lump unless you look at touch it. I feel exhausted all the time and discomfort. I went to the Drs and I have a breast clinic appointment next Friday. 
please can someone tell me if they have had this. I'm so worried I have three children and one of them is autistic and I'm so scared it's cancer. I researched stage 0 cancer and pray if it is that it is isolated to the tissue and not anywhere else. 

  • Hi Helzbilz and thank you for posting

    I see from your post that you are worried about some symptoms you have and it's good to of seen your doctor and that you have been referred. It can be very tempting to Google your symptoms but this can increase your anxiety and worry further so it's best to wait until your appointment at the clinic as they are best to placed disgnose your symptoms.

    Meanwhile hopefully the Cancer Chat members will be by to give you some support and advice. You can also give our nurses call if you would prefer on 0808 800 4040, Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm - it's a free number from UK landlines.
