Hi
I was diagnosed In May 2021 with breast cancer, had a lumpectomy and nodes removal in June, I had a course of radiotherapy but to be honest I am really struggling. My breast has been red sore and very hot for 4 months, 3 lots of antibiotics later and still no better. I am also having side effects from the letrozole including hot sweats day and night, sore joints and my hands are so swollen and sore i have had to take my wedding ring off. My shoulders are so sore I am not sleeping. I feel like I have aged 20 years. Just don't know where to turn next.
Hi TAG1965 and a very warm welcome to the online community
I'm sorry to read how much you're struggling since you've had treatment for breast cancer.
I hope you don't mind me suggesting that you also post this in the breast cancer group as then you'll connect directly with others who may have experienced the same problems as you. If you'd like to do that clicking on the link I've created will take you straight there.
