Re: Breast pain and strange lumps?
Hi Karen. Wanted to say enjoy reading your posts. You are upbeat and positive and proactive with your care as are all the women on this website. As you can see by my history long and involved, I am also stage 1 her2 positive. I ended up having double mastectomies January 2009. you can read why in my original posts but just to let you know I still have pain from the mastectomy on the left and apparently this can be there for quite a while. Also radiation can leave you with pain and aches for years. Aches and pains always scare the hell out of us. Bye the way I also just finished my Herceptin three weeks ago. Carry on with your healthy lifestyle and be well. Best wishes Lois.
