I had a biopsy which has shown cancer. I’m waiting on the next steps. Now though, my breast is painful and lumpy and aches. It never did this before. Is this normal?
Hi there, I too experienced pain after biopsy and diagnosis. I have read from a few people on this forum that they didn’t experience pain until they received diagnosis so I can only assume that it is normal. A biopsy is classed as minor surgery so I suppose you have to expect some pain. I can’t tell you not to worry as I am not in that place myself yet but I am sure others on this forum can settle your worries more than I can xx
I had pain for a few weeks after the biopsy and also swelling, so it felt like the lump had grown in size!. The leaflet I got to take away said all that was normal.
I had pain and an uncomfortable feeling right up to my neck and a lot of bruising which took 2 weeks to subside, wss told to expect lump to swell after the biopsies which it did, was so glad I was warned. All sounds normal but if you are unsure a quick call to your breast cancer nurse will be best x hope it settles soon x
