I will. Yeah, several of my doctors when I told him my breast kept aching and I was worried about possible breast cancer. They all said to me. Oh well, it’s good that you have pain because that means that it’s most likely not cancer. And then, when I started speaking to cancer specialist doctors, they said that it’s not true whatsoever. But even when you read up on some of the symptoms of breast cancer, it never really mentions aching or stinging. It always mentions a lump or the texture of the skin changes or the nipple inverts but oh I’ve had to this day is a deep doll ache like a toothache and a little bee stings. My surgery is August 29 and I’m having a double mastectomy at my age of 63. These are ticking time bombs on me, and I’m ready to be done with them. Hopefully my insurance does not give me a hard time because I want a double mastectomy. And I’m not even gonna have reconstruction. I do not think. I had implants breast implants in when I was 25 years old, and within 10 years the left breast implant ruptured and leaked silicone all in my left chest wall and that’s the left breast that has the Cancer right now too. So I do not want implants and the more I look at that DIEP flap I’m not interested in that either. You can get herniations after that surgery and blood clots and infection and you can get necrosis where they go and transfer all that fat from your abdomen and move it up to form breast, and if the blood vessels do not connect with that fat it just dies and they have to remove it so I think I’m just gonna stay flat and wear a padded bra but I’m glad at least that I heard from someone like you that also has had just the stinging and the aching or pain as the only symptom.

I too had some aching and tingling similar to the feeling of one’s milk coming in when nursing. Mine was IDC.
However - mine found with routine mammo vs symptoms. I am just about 1 year out from surgery.
Wishing you the best with everything!

I don’t remember having any symptoms; no pain no lump, etc. so I was very surprised at my IDC diagnosis. I hope your first visit to Moffitt was positive. I have been thinking about you. The nurses in surgery center are wonderful.
