Got pain in left side of rib & shooting pains in left nipple
Hi , I assume your posting here because you are worried it might be breast cancer. I was told by my oncologist that most breast cancers don't present any pain but you should definitely discuss this with your GP to be sure and also to find out what is causing the pain and hopefully treat it.
Hope it all turns out to be fine for you.
Whatever cancer throws your way, we’re right there with you.
