Hi I wonder if anyone has had strange little pains in their breast. I am awaiting full diagnosis and treatment plan. I have had biopsy 3 weeks ago and today I am having lots of niggle pains and discomfort. Is this normal or has the biopsy started something ?

  • Three weeks seems a long time for something to express itself, but if you are being seen soon you should mention it when you see the specialist so it's known and can be taken care of as needed. Do you know who your next appointment is with, and when? If not, have you been given contact information for a nurse?
