Here I go again! Any words of advice would be greatly appreciated
Have been really positive lately with my HA, but over the past two months I’ve had a lingering pain on the left side of my chest (down the outside edge of my pectoral)
Doctor thought it might be muscular and told me to take ibuprofen. However the pain hasn’t cleared and has been getting worse over the last few days. It varies from a sharp sting to a dull ache. Not worse with movement or pressure
As well as that I’ve been having a real difficulty taking in a deep breath recently which makes me more worried about (again) the dreaded C word!
To make matters worse, I came across a story (which I read as it was relevant to my work) about someone who had testicular cancer that grew in the chest, rather than in the testicle (unusual I know!!)
Doctor has told me to phone x ray tomorrow morning to book appointment so I’m extremely nervous. Also had asthma pump which didn’t have an affect on my breathing earlier.
No cough, which is a good sign, while I’m25yo, slightly overweight and had been a social smoker only for around three years (21-24 approx)
