Hi My name is Robyn I’m new to the community just recently got diagnosed with early stage breast cancer having surgery tomorrow then chemo in 4-6 weeks time! Recently I’ve been having pain in one breast is this a normal symptom to have before surgery? TIA
Hi Robyn and a very warm welcome to the online community which I hope you'll find is both an informative and supportive place to be.
Having been diagnosed with breast cancer myself, I understand the range of emotions you've probably been going through. I had a lumpectomy 11 weeks ago and my first chemotherapy 2 weeks ago.
As the online community is divided up into different support groups I'm going to recommend that you join the breast cancer group which is a great place to ask questions, share experiences and get support from others with the same type of cancer.
To join just click on the link I've created and then join and start a new post in the same way as you did here. You can also join in with existing conversations by clicking on 'reply'.
It would be great if you could pop something about about your diagnosis and treatment so far into your profile as it really helps others when replying to you and also when looking for someone on a similar pathway. It also means that you don't have to keep repeating yourself. To do this click on your username and then select 'Profile'. You can amend it at any time and if you're not sure what to write you can take a look at mine by clicking on my username.
If you have any difficulty navigating the community just drop me a reply and I'll be pleased to help
