Hi about 3 weeks ago I had shingles ..I'm fine now but last week I had a scan to get me ready for my Radiotherapy I have noticed my breast has gone red and blotchy and is a bit more painful than before it is warm to touch so now I'm worried as I'm having radiotherapy in 2 weeks time anyone can put a light on this please
Hi I rang the BN and I have got an appointment in the morning I hope it's just an infection as it could put my radiotherapy back and I just want it over and done with x thank you for caring and repling

Hi Shirlsstaf
Shingles is a weird viral infection and can leave residual pains/sensations in the area that was affected.
I hope your BN puts your mind at rest and nothing holds up your treatment.
Let us know how you get on.
Thinking of you
