I keep getting a pain I can only describe as a sharp tugging sensation in my left breast.
It comes in waves, isn't there constantly and I can't find a lump. The nipple hasn't changed, there's no puckering, no discharge from nipples etc.
I don't know whether to be concerned. My sister has had breast cancer (diagnosed 2 years ago & she's just out the other end of it, finished herceptin but is on tamoxifen).
I know basic common sense says "go to GP" but I have no symptoms that would be typical, have I?
I'm waiting to see a gynae re: cysts on my uterus & wondered if there may be a connection.
Does anyone have any advice? Usually I discuss health worries with my family but 5 weeks ago my brother's wife was diagnosed with breast cancer (she's had surgery, waiting on chemo, whereas my sister had chemo then surgery) and I don't want to cause them any further anxiety.
Thanks for any advice.
