am i the last stage of cancer?
i am 30 years old, live in Vancouver, i will try to list a time line of what's going on me.
At the middle of Jan, i feel a little bit pain above of my breast, i touch the breast and feel a lump, before that i don't know how to self check my breast, so i don't know when i have the lump. then i go to the GP, and he offer me to do a ultrasound, ultrasound says normal. but i still feel pain, then one week after, i ask him to send me to see a specialist. still waiting...
the pain is still last, i feel pain of my breast, my arms, and my back , and my bone, the bone pain last about one month ,now in this week, the pain is more and more,,,,i did another ultrasound of my breast again a week before, the ultrasound still says normal. and then on MAR2, I saw a doctor in Mt. Saint Josephen, breast clinic. The doctor was not listen to me, he said I am fine, he don't answer my question , my pain of breast, the symptoms of breast like, thickening, itch of the nipple...
I never think that's the pain of the muscle, i can feel the pain is from the bone inside. i hope that's the pain of the muscle, but i don't do any sports, i don't carry any heavy things. The pain is not last longer, but in different part of my body, my legs, arms, now this 2 days when i move,when i walk, i can hear the sound of the joint.
Can anyone tell me if I am the last stage of cancer, because I check online said once the breast cancer cells transfer to the bone, it's the last stage of cancer, I am very worry about it , now I am waiting to see another breast specialist.

I doubt it is the last stage of cancer, but it doesn't sound like you are being taken seriously by your doctors. I would ask for a second opinion.

You likely do not have breast cancer. You may have a pain disorder like fibromyalgia. There is also a condition in the sternum where you get an inflammation of the cartilage and can cause this kind of pain. I have been to the Mt. St. Joseph's breast clinic and I would trust them when they say you don't have breast cancer. However, you have something going on, some inflammatory process that needs attention. You are young and have arthritis symptoms is not uncommon, particularly rheumatoid arthritis...there is a blood test for this. Wishing you well and cyber hugs..((((HUGS)))) BTW...muscle pain is very hard to distinguish from bone pain and tense muscles can be very painful. You do sound frightened and this can get away on you. Try relaxants. May help.
