Hi, I’m new here, I really don’t know what is going on with me, I had 3 months ago severe pain in my left breast, so much so I had to hold it up after taken my bra off put heating pad on it, could not put any pressure on it . I have pain in my left shoulder and skin is very weird feeling when I touch it, almost like it’s numb but not the same numbing feeling if like my hand fell asleep. I have a spot on my arm pit that just seems odd to me, had it looked at a few years ago they said it’s fine. I also have a lump in my neck on left side, the pain in my breast is no longer as painful but to touch it hurts , most days it’s just a dull pain, I do have a hard spot on it, and twice now I have had a cyst on the outside under the breast that I have had drained. I have just recently been and had a mammogram and all is fine. I don’t think it is I just feel off. I would really appreciate any help. Thank you.

Mammograms do not tell the whole story unless you have all fatty breasts. My strong recommendation is to push for a MRI! All my mammograms were also “fine” even after I was diagnosed with Stage 3 metastatic lobular breast cancer. If your breasts are dense, mammograms can’t see the cancer. Be a strong advocate for yourself. No one else can do that for you. You know your body better than anyone else. Please push for the MRI.

Ask for an MRI. Do you have dense breasts? If so, that's the only way to see thru all the strata that dense breast have. Take control of your situation. I urge you to be
your own advocate.

@katiel207, any update? How are you doing?
