Hello,
Does anyone else suffer from pain in their breast? I’m triple negative grade 3. My tumour is around 6cm and has been causing quite sharp pains over the last few days. From what I’ve read pain in the breast is not a common symptom.
I’ve had 2 rounds of EC but as the tumour has not responded I’m switching to paclitaxel and carboplatin next week.
thanks
Karen
Hello Lancastrian,
I'm also 51 and diagnosed just yesterday. I do have some mild breast pain/discomfort thinking back on it but wasn't something i noticed before. Thought it was all just hormonal. Now i can't tell what pain is from the biopsy and what is not. Hope you are doing ok and it all goes well for you.
Hi, thanks for your reply. yes MX after chemo. Hope all goes well for you too.
Hi. Thanks for your reply. Yes I was sore after the biopsy too. Hope all goes well for you too.
Thank you. I did think it could have been from the biopsies.
I start chemo on Wednesday. 6 rounds of EC at 3 weekly intervals followed by surgery at some point. I'm Her2+ so adding Herceptin after 3rd round. I was of the impression it would just be added to the chemo drugs but reading some posts on here it sounds like I could be wrong! X x
