Lump found in breast and severe shoulder and arm pain

Hello I am new on here. I have recently found a lump in my right breast anoud 2/3cm in size but I am so concerned as i have been suffering from severe shoulder and arm pain for tbe last 5 weeks.. Was seen for the pain in my shoulder 2 weeks ago and sent for xray and awaiting bloods but then discovered this lump last Friday..

I have been referred as urgent to breast clinic so hoping to be seen within the next 2 weeks. Has anyone experienced this as i am so worried now that these could be linked.

Any advice would be very much appreciated.

Many thanks

Anne 

  • Hello Anne and a big welcome to Cancer Chat, 

    It's good that you are having both matters investigated: the lump in your breast as well as your shoulder and arm pain issues. I hope that you have your X Ray and blood test results soon and that they can tell you more about what is causing this shoulder problem. 

     Just today I was welcoming another lady who also found a similar-sized lump on her right breast and I thought you two would have a lot to say to one another to support each other as you are waiting to be seen at the breast clinic. You can read [@Shads]‍ 's thread and feel free to respond to it if you wish. 

    I hope you get some answers soon for both your issues and that it all turns out to be fine. 

    Best wishes,
