I had a mastectomy last year, a few weeks ago i found a lump in the boob i had cancer in, i went and got it checked and was told nothing to worry about just a cyst. I now have another cyst next to it and they are rather painful.
Don't want to be pestering breast care clinic again, anyone have any advice on pain relief or how to get rid of them, they're making me feel a bit sicky they're so painful.
Thank you xx
Hi The Scriptfan you know what Im gona say? Go back to that clinic and don't you be worrying about bothering anybody especially as another area has developed since you were last seen. Phone time methinks!!! Please do come back and let us know how you get on and don't let them put you off. When you are there ask them about pain relief and explain how painful they are .xxxx
Sending hugs your way meantime.xxxx
They did an ultra sound scan last time to check it was only a cyst so not particularly worried about it just wanted rid of the pain, but will do as you say and ring breast care nurse in the morning, might be Monday before they get back to me because they only work till 12 on a Friday.
Thanks for your reply xx
