Hi , I am still waiting to start chemo so newly diagnosed with breast cancer. Where the tumour is I'm having sharp pains. I was just wondering if anyone else has expressed pain because they say cancer is painless?
Hi Star
Sorry you haven't had an answer to your question. I haven't got an answer to your question but I notice that you are a member of the breast cancer forum as well, so maybe ask your question there as you are more likely to get an answer as it's a busier forum than this one.
Hope you are doing ok.
Best wishes

I am newly diagnosed. The reason I went was because I was getting pain in my right breast though actually it turns out it was in my left. They thought the pain was unrelated but I have had some twinges in the left since. I don’t know whether it’s just because I know something is there now though. I hope everything goes well for you, sorry, I don’t have the words. I’m waiting for lumpectomy first.
Hello Star I have just joined online today and noticed your question coming up.
I had sharp pains in my right breast where the tumour was I then went to the GP where a lump was discovered.
I guess the tumour was maybe pressing on some nerve endings which alerted me there was something wrong.I was diagnosed with ER/PR + breast cancer and am undergoing treatment atm had a right breast mastectomy am healing well and taking the medication treatment tablets.
There was pain in the right breast with my diagnosis after a mammogram, ultra sound, biopsie and four scans my left breast was found to be all clear. I did have a little pain in my left breast as well however it appeared to be sensitivity to the time of the month.
I hope this helps.

I am recently diagnosed and I had exactly the same. Pain like stinging and burning my oncologist said biopsy would have caused it. Mine now seems yo come and go but I agree hormones fo appear to make it worse.
