Hello,
I've been having pain in my under arm and breast and both breasts I've noticed enlarged pores. Really visible on both breasts and some look dark near the areola. Is this a symptom of breast cancer?
Hello Lily30,
I had a big lump which was growing fast and shooting pain every now and then close to the lump. Other people had different symptoms.
It’s best to go to your gp for referral so that they can be examined thoroughly by specialists and that will help ease your mind. The earliest you can the better. If you do get referred you will have a mammogram, ultrasound scan and biopsy if needed to ascertain what you have. I had an extra MRI too
I hope it is not.
I would suggest you see your gp, I had my first cancer at 34yrs, had a recurrent in November, I'm now 60yrs. Just the smallest changes need checking as scary as it may be.fingers crossed it's nothing to worry about.
wishing you all the best.
Absolutely right ,Mydogsworld. I am now on my second cycle of chemo after 2 surgeries. I am sorry to hear that you have a recurrence. Are you given your treatment plan now? Wishing and praying all go well for you.
Thank you, on leterzol, awaiting scans for lumps on other side.
Wishing you all the best for the future.
