Hi all
I am a new member hoping someone out there can put my mind at ease.
I have been suffering with breast pain then pulls across my breast from under my arm for 10+ months the pain has spread to my shoulder and top of my arm. The area the pain starts from is very tender, there are no lumpsthat I can feel, I perhaps could convince myself of a less than pea sized lump behind my nipple bu thats all, my nipple does pull in when i raise my arms too but I think that started a couple of years ago so think thats just the way I am. I have been through physio with no improvement so was sent for xrays on my shoulder and chest a couple of weeks ago.
The xrays came back with a lytic lesion on my humerus and a referral to breast surgeon recomended, I had been getting a bit of numbness too but today I have pins and needles / numbness all down my arm to my fingers, been there since yesterday, with no let up, its driving me insane.
First question i suspect i know the answer anyone else out ther had symptoms like this thats been diagnosed with breast cancer??
I dont really think its at all likely given my age the lack of lump but the niggle is there and untill its ruled out I am going to worry as my mums life was taken by this awfull disease.
Also if its not that then what is this lesion why do I have pins and needles (seriously doing my head in).
Any advise, words of wisdom,
