Should I be concerned about this breast pain?

Hello @kamra how frightened you must feel right now. I still get lumps and bumps and painful spots. My rule is this, if it is still there in two weeks, or gets any worse, I get it checked. I figure this is a two fold thing, it gives me grace to quit worrying over it because I have marked it on my calendar. If it is still there, I make an appointment, by the time appointment rolls around it might be gone (caffeine) or not. Then if the doctor says it is nothing, I am able to forget it, but if it requires testing and turns out to be something, then we found out early.
Is this your first scare since your diagnosis? How are feeling about this?

Yes, it is the first. Thank you for that good idea. I see my oncologist in December, so my plan is to wait for that appointment if it doesn't get worse. I'm glad to know that this may not be too unusual. I keep wondering what I've done to cause the pain--caffeine? exercise? carrying something heavy? But I hope that it's just natural and nothing to worry too much about. How long ago was your surgery?
