Hi Everyone,
Long time lurker first time poster,please be nice lol.
i am a 40 year old female that got HA when my now 8 year old was born. Never had issues before.
i am non smoker regular weight no health issues that I know of.
i have started to feel stabbing pains or just general soreness in right breast. Sometimes in my left but I think that’s normal, this seems to be always hanging around. Not painful,just there. I can’t tell if it’s really on or off which scares me. Sometimes if I move in a way it’s like a sharp stab.I had a large lymph node scanned that side 2 years ago,with no concerns, but can’t help maybe it’s progressed, as I’ve seen people say it can take up to 10 years for a tumour to grow.ive been taking ibuprofen and evening primrose oil for the last 2 days to try to get it to stop. My periods due next week but it’s Been there the whole month that I can pinpoint.
this really has me on edge as one of my friends has inflammatory breast cancer and is at end of life care. She’s 38 2 kids as well, so really freaking out. I’ve never had a mammogram, not sure when they start inAus, but scared to go in case they find something.
Has as anyone had this and had good news.something I can hold hope to? Sorry for the long post but my mums not around since 16 so no one really to ask. All my friends are younger than me so not really going through the same time frame health wise.
