I finished my last herceptin treatment in December. Now, I am noticing shooting pains in both my breasts. I can't really describe the pain, other than they shoot across the breast.

Is this something I should be concerned about? MY left breast cancer was found during a routine mammogram. It was 2.5 cm, but you could not feel it because it was so deep next to my chest wall. Now, I am wondering if it is coming back in both breasts. I did have radiation on the left breast and a port on the right side. I don't know if this is just scar tissue pain or what.

Thanks in advance for any advice. God bless you all!
