Hi just need to see if im out of the normal in relation to recovery.
I have had breast cancer in my right breast and right lymph nodes.
I had Chemo right, mascetomy and lymph node removal followed by 36 sessions of radiotherapy. I finished Chemo August 2018 had surgery September 2018 and finished my radiotherapy end December 2018 so am just 18 months finished treatment.
My question is, is it normal to still feel pain in right breast Aera and also tightness like chest pain over whole chest aera. My main concern is that i feel so weak most of the time and feel embarrassed by this as i feel i should be more or less back to normal.
Would be intrested to here if you anyone in same situation after same treatment

Hi Lgt
I didn't have anywhere near as much treatment as you, so I can't comment on whether it's normal or not, but I would say you have absolutely NOTHING to be embarrassed about! You have had an enormous amount of treatment which you need to recover from, both mentally and physically.
I would recommend contacting you BC nurse and having a chat. I know a lot of services have been delayed by Covid-19, but I was surprised to receive my letter for my 3rd annual arrive exactly on the dot of my original diagnosis 3 years ago. So, it does appear that some hospitals are 'service as usual'. Hopefully the same with yours.
By answering, I've also bumped your post up to the first page and there might be a lady around now who'd able to help more than me too.
Kindest wishes,
Thank you for taking the time to reply lesleyhelen. I do not habe a BC as have had my treatment in Spain. Although the treatment has been excellent I have been struggling as I do not speak very much Spanish so am now feeling very isolated.
Thanks for your advise

Hi Lgt
Very sorry for the delay in replying to you. (with any luck another bump will find someone in a similar position). Ah, yes sorry - didn't think that you might not be in the UK - sorry again. No wonder you feel isolated especially with the language barrier.
I wonder if it would be worth your while asking a nurse from Macmillan, they do take a couple of days or so to reply, but it might give you a little peace of mind from an expert who does speak English and some support that you can't get in Spain.
Thinking of you and kindest wishes,
