Hi, everyone! I hope you are all well, and enjoying the holidays!

As always, when I have a pressing concern that I can't find an answer for elsewhere, I turn to you for suggestions or just ruminations!!! For quite a while, I have been having a throbbing pain on my left side (BC was on the right). It moves from the bottom of my rib, down to my hip, to the inside portion of the ribs, behind the ribs, and to my back. I have mentioned to my ONC for months, but he did not seem too concerned about it.

On Tuesday night, I began having severe pains that shot down into my pelvis. It got so bad (and I got so scared), that my husband took me to the ER. They did bloodwork, especially looking at the liver and the pancreas (as my MGM had both breast and pancreatic cancer), and did a CT (chest, abdomen, pelvis).

I had an ovarian cyst, which I believe was a follicle trying to burst out, as that pain seems to be gone for the most part. However, the original "moving" pain seems to be getting worse with each day. It could be that I finished radiation on Wednesday (YEAH! I told the ER doc. that no matter what I was going to radiation that afternoon), and I am very tired. I have been doing almost nothing but lying around and sleeping, because I am SOOO tired. It is possible that my inactivity is irritating whatever is going on.

Does this sound like anything you have heard of?!? Wouldn't a CT show anything BC related that was large enough to actually cause pain or symptoms?

Thank you so much!
