Breast Cancer Support Group

Mon, Aug 28, 2023

Description

This breast cancer support group is open to individuals diagnosed with stage 0 – stage 3 breast cancer. The group meets via Zoom every Monday from 7:00 to 8:00 PM CT (find your time zone).  Mayo Clinic and non-Mayo Clinic patients are welcome.

This is a compassionate virtual space to connect with others who can relate to the physical and emotional impacts of breast cancer. The support group is community-based led by two breast cancer survivors who facilitate the meetings enhanced by their personal experiences. Regularly, providers from Mayo Clinic's Breast Cancer care team  join the group to offer support and share their breast cancer expertise.

Ten years ago, I had a mastectomy of my right breast. Now, I get a sharp pain where there is no breast. I don't know if it's the nerves acting up or it's a different thing. Or, could it be my heart giving me a message? I have a doctor's appointment next week, but wondering if anyone else has had this same twinge pain.

Yes, I still have the same sensation every once in a while after 17 years. I feel like this is nerve pain of some sort. It is always best to get it checked out, if only for your peace of mind.
