I've not been diagnosed long so still waiting to see oncologist for chemo plan and I'm finding my breast with the cancer is constantly uncomfortable and is at times quite painful. What pain killers would be best to help ; paracetamol or ibuprofen? Thanks

    if you are ok with paracetamol and brufen then take it up to 4 times a day. I take 2 paracetamol then 2 brufen couple hours later and works for me. However, always get advice from your health care provider. 
    If these tablets don’t help then you must speak to GP meantime. It  be ok, don’t fret too much as it’s early days and you are trying to make sense of things. I had no pain at all until I was diagnosed, my head was making it worse xx
