Hello everyone I’m new here today 31/8/23 looking for experiences or advice please I’ve had some very sharp like stabbing/sharp pains internally from the nipple to what feels like the back of my chest wall. It’s happened a few times over the last 2 months.I haven’t found any lumps no changes in my breasts myself. Been to the gp today and she found two lumps. On my last mammogram they did find 5 tiny cysts so I’m guessing it’s probably them just got bigger. the gp has referred me for a urgent 2 week check up. I have recently, December 14th 2022 just finished chemo radiotherapy for stage 2 anal cancer no spread. Been left with some life changing side effects but I’m still here! any thoughts pls. X
Hi GreenNanny
Welcome to the forum and sorry to hear that you had anal cancer and are now facing a possible breast cancer diagnosis. It's possible that the cysts have gotten bigger but it's better to get it checked out particularly as you've had cancer before.
Hopefully they will turn out to just be cysts.
Best of luck
