I’m so scared I have breast cancer and it’s spread

2 months ago I started with a pain in the upper part of my left breast with the occasional shooting painto my collar bone I mentioned it to the drs while I was hospital with something else but it was ignored since then the pain in my collar bone area has got much worse and is there all the time then the pain spread to pains into my nipple then my armpit and under my boob now I have pain in the back of my shoulder and my left side of my neck and throat finding it difficult to swallow all these areas hurt constantly and feel heavy I've even been to a&e twice with the pain but after given morphine been sent back to gp .

my gp sent me for a chest X-ray 16 days ago which was clear and finally has referred me to the breast clinic on 10th of may and don't have a appointment with them till 24th of may I'm going out my mind with worry

I feel like nobody is taking me seriously because they can't feel a lump but my breast is larger than the other and it feels different to me .

all my symptoms are there all of the time it never goes off I'm at home on my own all day and sick with worry and just need to advice and someone to talk to from some where please

  • Welcome to the forum Melissa_daisy although I'm sorry for the worry your symptoms are causing.

    Many of our members have been in a similar position so I'm sure some of them will be along soon to offer their support and advice but in the meantime I just wanted you to know we're thinking of you and wishing you all the best for the 24th.

    I'm not sure if you've been to a breast clinic before but if you haven't and would like to get an idea of what may happen at your appointment, just click here.

    I hope this helps and you're able to get some answers and peace of mind soon.

    Kind regards,
