Hello,
I have had two separate breast cancers in 2013 and 2016. I currently am 'clear' and take daily and monthly medication.
I have had a deep stitch like pain (on and off) in my liver area or upper right abdomen for a couple of months. Its painful to press and feels like gristle under the skin. It can feel like a prickling or nipping sensation sometimes when I'm sitting or lying still.
My GP has referred me for an ultrasound which I'm waiting on. My blood tests were normal. I have no obvious bloating.
Has anyone experienced similar symptoms?
Thank you.xx
Hi and a very warm welcome to the online community
I'm glad to hear that you're currently clear of breast cancer but it's always a worry when you have some unexplained symptoms. It's good to hear that your GP is taking your concerns seriously and has arranged for you to have an ultrasound.
I don't have any experience with liver mets but I noticed that your post hadn't had any replies yet. On typing 'liver' into the search bar in this group I found these posts which you could have a look through. I have also found this information from Macmillan on symptoms of secondary liver cancer which you might find helpful.
Do come back and let us know how the ultrasound goes.

Latchbrook, thank you so much for your kindness. And I LOVE your signature quote xxx
Hi
I'm afraid I can't claim the credit for my signature line. I saw it somewhere else and felt that it was appropriate to my general philosophy on life so 'pinched' it.
