Hi,

Can anyone advise how long after treatment finished did their breast area and under arm settle.

I had my operation in June followed by chemo July to September then radiotherapy in October. I'm now on Letrozole.  However I still feel discomfort not pains as such in breast area. My fear is they have missed some of the tumour or it's cone back. I can't feel a lump but it's uneven area because of op so probably scar tissue.

Thank you xx

  • Hi  welcome to this corner of the community and let’s see if anyone is looking in can help you out.

    I see you have been posting in our dedicated Breast cancer group, I would suggest you post this in this group as well as I think you would get a wider group of people.

  • Nothing wrong with putting your post here but it’s not a busy group but the BC group is very busy.

  • Hello  I had 2 lumpectomies for BC in Sept/ Oct 23 followed by chemotherapy radiotherapy and Herceptin which I finished this April. I still have quite a bit of breast pain and discomfort ,  I understand this is normal and can continue for quite some time. If you are concerned about the lumpy area perhaps speak to your Macmillian nurse, she should be able to advise you. I wish you well xx
