Hi all,
This is my first post. Found this forum while researching symptoms.
Breast cancer in 2008 at 46 followed by mastectomy and removal of all lymph nodes in right arm pit. About 2 weeks ago developed a severe pain in upper arm which moved overnight into chest. The pain is still severe and feels like a brick in my chest. I think there is slight swelling too but I can't be 100% sure.
Doctor has referred me back to the breast clinic but I don't know how long that will take.
Any thoughts would be gratefully received.
Thanks
Carol
You could call the clinic direct to explain your recent symptoms - they will probably see you sooner than waiting for a referral. I had breast cancer in 2001. In 2013 I was suspicious about pain in my affected chest wall. I rang the clinic and they saw me two days later. Nothing cancer related, but costochondritis in the ribs on that side.
Thanks something to think about.
