Hi all. I had a lumpectomy and lymph node removal followed by radiotherapy almost two years ago. Am on letrozole now. For the past couple of days out of the blue the same breast has been sort of aching. It’s not painful but I’ve got a definite ache. I’m trying not to panic. Any ideas on what could be going on? Thanks everyone in advance x
Of course call your GP or your BCN if you are concerned, but I am 2.5 years past surgery and my breast (and arm) often aches. I am quite outdoorsey and if I overdo things, then everything aches.
Have you been overusing your arm or chest muscles recently?
Maybe you’re right. It’s bothering me though so I might ring my bcn
