Just Diagnosed with Cancer? Chat with Experts

Wednesday, September 24, 2008 J.C. asks

Q: My left breast feels sore often, and after self checking it hurts more. I am over 50 and had a

hysterectomy at age 19, took premarin for many many years, and take nothing now. There is the feeling of thickness in an area of the breast but not a lump, maybe at times. It has been a year or more. I have awful indigestion too. What do you think? Thank you, J.C.

Hi J.C. First, I wouldn't think the indigestion has anything to do with your breast issue. And as for the pain, pain isn't generally a breast cancer symptom. However, a feeling of thickness is definitely something you should get checked out, especially if you've been feeling it for a year. So, give the doctor a call, and get it checked out, OK? Good luck, and hope you feel better soon- PJH
