I am currently waiting on a ct scan to check for lung mets. I went to the doctor as I started to have intermittent dull pain in my right lung (cancer side) that comes and goes. No other symptoms. I am now absolutely terrified that the cancer has come back after nearly 12 year. Has anyone else had similar symptoms?
Hi Cim and a very warm welcome to the online community which I hope you'll find is both an informative and supportive place to be.

Hi Cim, I'm kinda in the same boat. Thought I was cancer free for 10 years in October past only to go to docs with what I thought was a chest infection at Xmas and after various antibiotics , chest
rays and a cat scan I was told the breast cancer had spread to my right lung, affected side and my back bone. Last 6 weeks has been such a whirlwind I don't know if I'm coming or going, however, start chemo next week. As for symptoms I only suffered from severe breathless ness for about /4 months to the point I could hardly walk upstairs to bathroom without being totally breathless and the odd niggle in my joints. Praying your symptoms and scans come back clear.
