Help having pain

Options

Hi,

I need help. I'm 36 and a 6 year survivor of stage 2. Double mastectomy and chemo.. For the past 6 weeks I've had increasing left side pain. Hip and radiates down left leg at night my left arm hurts. Worse when sitting. Hasn't stopped my activity but pain is more consistent. Saw onc this week and have PET scan next week. I'm scared, just want to hear about others symptoms......

    HI there, I have and had pain such as this caused by herniated discs compressing my spinal cord. Hoping your symptoms are from something similar and the pet is benign for signs of cancer causing these issues. I had to have spinal cord decompression and a lamenectomy of disc but am now 80% better.Good luck with your tests.

    thanks, the pain continues to get worse. I keep telling myself it's all in my head. My tumor markers are low, I know that test can vary in accuracy but it's hope that the pet scan will be clear also.
