    Breast Pain

    Hi Pat. I am sorry you are having problems 9 years after the first bout with cancer. Personally I think waiting until June to have a mammogram and consult with an oncologist is WAY too long - especially when you have a known history of cancer. You know when something is not right with your body. I see no disadvantages to requesting an earlier appointment. I wish you the best of luck.

    Yes, call your oncologist

    Hi Pat,

    Yes, I would definitely call my doctor and let her/him know what I was feeling. 

    Keep us posted:)
