My nipple got very sore during radiotherapy, and 3 weeks after radiotherapy finished it continues to be very sore. The hospital gave me sticky dressings for this but is was so painful removing the dressings before I had a shower I stopped using the dressings. I'm moisturising daily. Any hints or things to do or use to reduce the soreness please?
Hi
I'm sorry to hear how much discomfort you're in after having radiotherapy.
Could I suggest that you re-post this in the main breast cancer group as they have a monthly radiotherapy thread. If you'd like to do this then clicking on the link I've created will take you straight there.
When you have a minute it would be useful if could pop something about your journey so far into your profile as it really helps others when answering or looking for someone with a similar diagnosis. It also means that you don't have to keep repeating yourself. To do this click on your username and then select 'Edit Profile'. You can amend it at any time and if you're not sure what to write you can take a look at mine by clicking on my username.
