Anyone have breast aching, stinging as only symptom of breast cancer?
It seems I am a rarity regarding my Invasive Ductal Carcinoma and my only symptom has been my breast aching and stinging. I have had no other symptoms whatsoever and still can not even feel this lump.
I keep reading breast cancer, IDC, is painless YET that’s been my only symptom.
Anyone else only have breast aching or stinging?
I’m STILL waiting on my surgery date which is August 29. I’ve never ever seen soooo much waiting waiting waiting in between abnormal mammogram, then ultrasound, then MRI with contrast, the biopsy, then meet with breast surgeon to FINALLY get scheduled for surgery. Good grief.

The only pain I had was the shooting dart in my breast. The oncologist sad I wouldn't have to have anything, I think because I had a double mastectomy and that I had A 1% or less chance of it returning. This surprised me.

I had experienced my breast stinging as an arrow went through it the first time with invasive ductual carsinoma. This time the same stinging and aching breast is how I found out I had invasive ductual carsinoma again.

2 ReactionsGood luck and keep us posted. May I ask if you were on any AI's - sounds like it. In another post a link was posted discussing why some are seemingly "resistant" to AI's :

1 ReactionI am almost 16 years out since my mastectomy. 15 years since my tram flap.
I am having breast surges, anywhere from 20-25 an hour. It feels like you are pushing fluid with a plunger through a pinhead. It is so painful.
I am experiencing lymphedema, after 16 years.
In my tram flap we found a new lump! Had an ultrasound it shows nothing.
However it does not explain why it is there.
I am going to ask my primary doctor for a referral to see Dr. Hiri Abidi.
I Have heard wonderful things about her.
I need some answers.
I had DCIS and then this past May, 12 years later I experienced sharp pain, burning and soreness in the same breast. Ultrasound guided biopsy led to diagnosis of IDC. Mastectomy surgery in 3 weeks.

3 ReactionsPrayers! I had the double mastectomy first 20 years ago and now have to have a pet to see if it's spread beyond the IDC that I have now. This time it will be a lumpectomy the 21st and radiation I'm in my 70s and am tired.
