Rib and back pain

Looking for any advice and words of comfort.  I had bilateral breast cancer in 2018.  8 lots of chemo, 2 lumpectomies and 24 radiotherapy and I was all clear.  Fast forward to the last month / 6 weeks and I’ve had some rib pain under my right breast, some tenderness at the top of my tummy between my rib cage and some back & hip pain.  It’s not intense pain and it comes and goes and I feel like someone is squeezing me tightly around my waist.  I’m so anxious that the cancer has come back.  My doctors have done my bloods and they’ve all come back clear except my amylase which is slightly up.  I’m seeing my breast consultant tomorrow who will hopefully send me for some further tests.   Has anyone else experienced anything similar and what were your symptoms.  I’m so scared and anxious.  X 

  • Hi Tracy how did it go with your breast consultant, is he sending you for further tests?  It is hard not to think that your cancer has come back when you get these pains.  Hope everything is okay.  Please let me know how you got on.  Big hugs.
