Hello Everyone, 

Im wondering if this is normal? I had a breast localiser implanted yesterday ready for surgery on the 13th, next week. The pain I am experiencing today is awful, they never warned me about this.

i keep experiencing random shooting/stabbing pain exactly where the Tumor is & the pain is excruciating!

Has anyone else experienced this?

any advice would be appreciated.

  • Hi there,

    Sorry you're experiencing all this pain. The only advice I can think to give  is to speak to your breast care team as soon as possible but in the interim, go to the A&E department for their assessment or contact the on-call GP service. 

    All the best with this and your surgery next week

  • Yes, absolutely.  I felt like I wanted to claw the thing out of my breast!

    Other people have asked this too so I know it happens.

    I only had 3 days to cope with it, and can only suggest paracetamol I'm afraid.

  • Hi Mrs P,

    Yes, thats exactly how I felt! Luckily the pain only lasted another day then calmed down.

    I have my Op in the morning! Cannot wait to get the thing removed along with the tumor Pray xx
