Confirmed with Breast Cancer?

[Sophiiy]

My left breast has been very painful for few months. Also, my left upper arm is terribly sore. Can anyone out there with confirmed breast cancer, advise me if they ever had severe breast pain and/or severe upper arm pain, prior to be diagnosed/ confirmed with breast cancer? Was the pain constant and unbearable? Every doctor I go to regarding my breast pain has something new to tell me, so I am not sure what is causing my pain.

You might also eliminate caffeine from your diet ... coffee, chocolate, etc. This is often advised when cysts are the problem.  Take care ....

Thanks a lot. My doc says to take Evening Primrose for my breast cysts. Will try it out and let you know.

First may I suggest that you follow your first posting on this Community and not start another "thread" so that we may have all the information concerning your questions. This would make it a lot easier to give you appropriate answers. Now to your current questions ... did you have the Mammogram and/or Ultrasound to aid in the diagnosis of your problem and the cause of your pain. Pain is rarely associated with breast cancer except for one particular type which has several other obvious symptoms. You never state what the Dr.s have told you regarding this pain but I'm sure if this had anything to do with BC it would have been confirmed after having the routine tests for the disease (Mammogram/Ultrasound/Breast MRI) as well as the clinical exam. I would be interested in what was stated in the Radiology reports from your imagery.  Regards ...
