newbie with breast cancer query

Hi first time posting Image removed.

Does anyone know if a soreness or rather discomfort in one breast should be anything to worry about? no lumps that I can find but a big history of cancer in the family. I had bloods taken for tumour markers and all came back ok. thanks

Hi

You don't say what age you are. It is most likely nothing however if there is a history of BC in your family then suggest you mention it to your GP and ask about whether your family history and your discomfort warrants more investigation which may involve a referral to a centre of excellence for a mammogram and possibly an ultrasound.

Hope this helps

Thanks Lindylou, Im 43, and I think my GP thinks Im a bit of a worrier, but yes I should just go see her if only for peace of mind. Thanks.
