Hello everyone, 

im having my first radiotherapy measuring appointment for left breast invasive lobular cancer and although I’ve read about the subject I’m wondering what they actually do in the appointment and how the radiotherapy feels for this part of the body.

Any soreness and I understand tiredness is an issue?

Thank you for your reply

  • I know this thread is a bit old, but radiotherapy for breast cancer often doesn’t hurt during treatment, though you might feel a bit warm. Fatigue is common, so rest is key. Anyone else experience soreness or have tips for managing tiredness?
