Evening Everyone, 

I was diagnosed with Her-2 negative Breast Cancer in March 2022. 

I had a lumpectomy and 10 rounds or radiotherapy, I'm currently on daily Tamoxifen and monthly Zoladex Injections. 

I've had twinges and pains every now and then, but recently it seems to be more and more.

I had 2 nodes checked and all clear, but my left armpit feels very swollen. 

I am also getting severe pains in my boob, like a contracting pain but to the point that it really takes my breath away, when it first happened I thought am I having a heart attack. 

I have spoken to my Breast nurse and surgeon and voiced my concerns, but they just keep telling me it is normal and it is the affects of Radiotherapy.  

Does anyone else suffer in a similar why? 

The pains today have been worse than ever, I am at the Breast Clinic on Friday so will be talking to my breast nurse again. 

Every twinge or pain after a cancer diagnosis always makes you think the worse, but I also don't want to be fobbed off being told its normal all the time. 

Bye for now
