Hello Carenity members,

What were the symptoms that you originally experienced with breast cancer that made you seek medical advice? Please describe the symptoms and their duration before you sough medical advice/treatment.

My hopes is that this becomes a forum for users to reference in the future or for those that are possible concerned they may need to seek medical advice.

Thank you.

I was diagnosed in October 2016 after having pain in my armpit close to the wire in my bra. I thought it was the bra but after several new ones and no relief I called my obgyn he sent me for a mammogram. After my scan I was sent to have an ultrasound. Everyone I spoke to said breast cancer typically does not hurt at all. I’m not sure why mine did and no one could explain why but I am so grateful I did have pain other wise at 42 I would have never assumed it was cancer

@Courtney_J I am getting very nervous and scared because the surgery is July 13, 2021. My parents both died this year so I dont have them to talk to. My mom died on Feb 16, 2021 with a sickness she was suffering for 18 months so i was dealing with that for the last months and then my dad had a major stroke 3 weeks after my mom passed away and he could no longer go back to his assistance living so we had to find a nursing home. We found one he was only in there 3 weeks and then he passed away on May 6, 2021. Right after all that I was diagnosed with cancer so I have been on a train that is non-stop. I feel like I am so tried out and I dont have much energy left. My sisters are not helpful they keep telling me just pray. They both got to take 2 weeks vacation after my mom and dad passed away. I have not even had time to take a breather I am just on the train of bad luck. That is how I am feeling.
