Hello everyone.
I had a mastectomy a few months ago followed by radiotherapy. I am now taking chemo tablets but have been experiencing some shooting pains off and on in the area where my tumour used to be. I have read about phantom pains, has anyone experienced a similar issue and should I get checked? It's just worrying as there is still the horrible feeling the cancer might come back as I had TNBC and my tumour was chemo resistant.
Hello Issylid, thanks so much for the reply. I am trying not to worry too much and I will speak to my team. I guess I just don't want to come across as a hypochondriac :) x
