Hi, I will try not to make this a long post but it is difficult. I have had HA for many years and particularly about breasts. Have been to hospital twice in the last 7 months. Only went last Monday and the specialist was confident all was well. Did not have a mammogram because it was too soon. Part of me was glad not to be exposed to the radiation and part of me wanted to know that nothing was developing deep down. This was an issue with my left breast. I am currently on holiday with my family, the first proper holiday for over 10 years due to caring for elderly parents. Three of them are still alive and in their nineties but we managed to get them sorted so that we could come away. Ever since we have been here it has been raining and the twins have had a sickness bug which I dread catching. As if that is not bad enough I was woken last night by excruciating pain in right breast (not the one I had trouble with last week and if course they both got checked anyway). It has been hurting on and off all day so I decided to look on here. I know that cancer lumps don't usually hurt but I have just read about someone with a stabbing pain in breast on here, and of course she has my sympathy, but she has to go to hospital and so now I am in a panic again. What if something is happening in there that is not palpable? Remember I didn't have a mammogram or ultrasound. My mind us fluctuating between thinking it must be okay as I only went last week and worrying that something is going on in there. I can't help feeling that this is unfair when we have waited so long for this holiday. Why did it have to happen? Surely nothing can have come since last week.
