sharp shooting pain in my right breast??
Im having horrible sharp pain in one central location on the side my right breast. I tried to feel for lumps and thought i felt something but i have had a breast reduction 7 years ago and have a very hard time distinguishing a lump from scar tissue. I have a doctors appointment next week. I suppose im just worried because in 3 generations there has been 6 cases of breast cancer on my fathers side. out of those 6 cases 2 were fatal :(
Jenny, with your family history of breast cancer, it's good that you're being cautious. That said, a sharp, shooting pain in the breast isn't a symptom of breast cancer. Could be scar tissue/nerve issues, a hormonal thing, who knows... But I'm glad you have a doctor's appt. next week, because (s)he will be able to tell you what's up, and do whatever tests necessary to reassure you that you don't have breast cancer. Good luck - PJH
