Breast cancer

I had breast cancer in 2005-2006.  I had 13 lymph nods under my left arm that was cancerous, including my left breast.  I have been feeling pain (shooting pain) in my right underarm and right breast.  It comes and goes, is that normal?    God's blessings, Amy1956

Dear Amy1956, Breast pain is a common breast symptom.  The reason for breast pain is not clearly understood, and is not usually associated with breast cancer.  Breast pain is sometimes associated with hormonal variations and is then called cyclical breast pain.  Non-cyclical breast pain does not seem to be linked to hormonal variations and is often localized to one area of the breast tissue.  Non-cyclical breast pain may or may not be the result of an injury to the breast.   You may want to have your doctor check this for you.
